Here at Foothill we are pleased to be known as an "Old fashioned" Baptist Church. Our desire is
to continue: Preaching the "Old-fashioned" Gospel of salvation by faith, Using the
"Old-fashioned" Word of God, Singing the "Old-fashioned" hymns and Gospel songs, Seeking to
win the lost with an "Old-fashioned" soul-winning zeal, Separated unto the Lord Jesus Christ,
personally and ecclesiastically in the Biblically "Old-fashioned" manner, Loving and caring for
each other in an "Old-fashioned" way.
With all the activities in the Bay Area, there is still one crying need in the heart of every
individual. "Where will I Spend Eternity?" We are available to help you in any spiritual matter
that you may have.
Foothill Baptist Church was founded in May 1889 as the Twenty-third Avenue Baptist Church in
Oakland. It later moved to Foothill Blvd. in Oakland and became known as Foothill Blvd. Baptist
Church. Many years later it merged with Trinity Baptist Church in Castro Valley and retained
the name, Foothill. In May 2009 our church celebrated its 120th anniversary.
