Join First Church San Jose's Vibrant Ministries

At First Church San Jose, ministry is about people — connecting hearts, deepening faith, and serving others with compassion. Whether you’re exploring your spiritual journey or have been active in church life for years, you’ll find a place to grow, give, and belong.

Our ministries are designed to support our community — and to reflect God’s love in the heart of San Jose. Each program offers opportunities to engage with others, strengthen your faith, and make a difference in the world around you.

Worship Ministry

Worship is at the heart of who we are. Every Sunday, our community gathers for a time of reflection, prayer, and worship music that renews the spirit. From contemporary and gospel praise, our worship celebrates the greatness of God and the promise of salvation.


Ways to get involved:

  • Serve as an usher or greeter

  • Join the music team or choir

  • Help with livestream and media support
