The story of First Pres began on March 31, 1878—one day before the city of Berkeley was incorporated. Twenty-seven individuals founded this church to serve the nearby university and community. We are a member congregation of the Presbyterian Church (USA) and have been on the corner of Dana and Channing since 1902.

The Piedmont Center for the Arts is dedicated to coalescing the arts communities of Piedmont and around the Bay Area. The Center offers an affordable rental venue where artists from the musical, performing, visual and literary arts have a physical space to perform and display their works of art, and where members of the Piedmont community can gather to experience these creations.
