J. Glenn Ferrell

Glenn Ferrell is the pastor of First Orthodox Presbyterian Church of San Francisco. A Kentucky native, he has served as a home missionary in the Appalachian region of Eastern Kentucky, and a pastorate in Boise, Idaho, prior to moving to San Francisco in October of 2010.

Glenn is an orthodox, confessional Calvinist, who subscribes to the historical Westminster Standards as an accurate summary of the most important teachings of the Bible. Therefore, he holds the historic formulas regarding the Trinity, the person and work of Jesus, the inspiration and authority of the scriptures, and salvation by grace through God given faith in Jesus Christ alone. Worship is the highest work of believers, to be done according to God’s command; preaching and hearing the word our great privilege, blessing and means of grace. The Lord's Day is a delight, given by God for the care of our souls. Christ’s Church belongs to Him and should be governed according to His direction in the Bible, being reformed and transformed by the Word of God alone.
