About

Bayview Presbyterian Church in Chula Vista is an Orthodox Presbyterian congregation on East Naples Street that was received as a particular church by the Presbytery of California on April 23, 1958. The church's commitment to Reformed catechetical education shapes its family Bible study and youth programs, a pedagogical approach that resonates with the academic rigor at nearby institutions like Discovery Charter Elementary/Middle in the eastern Chula Vista corridor. Worship blends traditional hymnody with contemporary elements under the doctrinal framework of the Westminster Confession of Faith and Larger and Shorter Catechisms, the OPC's confessional standards since the denomination's 1936 founding. A Lao and Thai fellowship meets in the church courtyard for culturally specific worship and meal-sharing, broadening the congregation's linguistic reach in a South Bay ZIP code with significant Southeast Asian populations—families who also access counseling resources through providers like South Bay Guidance Center. The sermon archive on SermonAudio catalogs sequential expository series through Old and New Testament books, delivered from a pulpit that has maintained continuous OPC affiliation for over six decades.
