We are excited about the name because it lifts up the source and sustainer of our faith, Jesus Christ! Reaching, Equipping, and Loving in Jesus Name! First Presbyterian Church of Hollister was established in 1873 in Hollister, CA. In 2015 FPCH is aligned with ECO: A Covenant Order of Evangelical Presbyterians. ECO's name represents its commitment to connect leaders through grace-based relationships (Covenant) and unite around standards of life and ministry (Order) for the ultimate purpose of making disciples of Jesus Christ (Evangelical). ECO is a Reformed denomination that is structured to feel like an association, with an emphasis on nimble governance, relational networks, and autonomy for local congregations. By investing in churches and pastors, ECO exists to advance a Gospel movement to make Jesus Christ known.
