The First Congregational Church of Ramona has been around as long as the town itself. It was founded in April 1898 and has been at its location on the corner of Eighth Street and D Street since 1907. Pastor David Auten leads the congregation that belongs to the United Church of Christ. A preschool on the church grounds provides a safe and spiritual place for children ages 18 months to 12 years. The church is very active in missions that provide charity in Ramona and Tijuana.
