First United Methodist Church


Spreading the good news
625, Hamilton Avenue
San Jose and Silicon Valley, CA 94301
United States
+1 650 323 6167
http://www.firstpaloalto.com/
Originally a redwood structure, over the years it has changed to keep up with the times. The look changed in 1948, 1957 and in 1962 to incorporate modern touches. Great acoustics make it a venue for many concerts and recitals. Over the years Philharmonia Baroque and New Century Chamber Orchestra have performed here. The Memorial Garden at this church affirms the belief that death is not the end of life. Youth Missions are conducted to places like Kenya, where volunteers work on various projects but also take time out to enjoy.
