Christian Church of Gilroy
160 Fifth Street
Gilroy
Built 1857
This Christian Church is Gilroy's oldest frame church,
Santa Clara County's oldest church in continuous use, and California's
oldest church for this denomination.
The church was built around 1857 at the corner of Church and
Third Streets. It was moved to its current location in 1886 to be
next door to the home of its pastor. The Greek Revival architectural
style and construction techniques are typical of rural California
churches of the period.
