Last Sunday, Pastor Reid made a slip of the tongue that immediately brought to mind to several members a longstanding love of spoonerisms coming from the pulpit. Actually, such spoonerisms have come not so much from Novato pastors but from the beloved Rev. Carl E. Erickson of our sister congregation at New Covenant OPC in South San Francisco. Each year at our presbytery Family Camp, Rev. Erickson’s wife Kathy has shared the many spoonerisms she has collected over the years, many having originated from her husband. They continue to be a source of much laughter, as well as an opportunity to keep pastors humble!

A blog of our church, highlighting church events and distinctives.
Novato Orthodox Presbyterian Church
Did you know that our church was originally named Novato Orthodox Presbyterian Church? It wasn’t until 1976 that the congregation changed its name to Trinity Church, Orthodox Presbyterian, and later simplified to its current official name of Trinity Presbyterian Church (OPC).
A Season of Thanksgiving for Fifty Years of Ministry
Our church will reach its 50th anniversary as an officially organized congregation of the Orthodox Presbyterian Church on May 13, 2021. That is quite a milestone for our church and it is fitting to enter into a season of thanksgiving to God as we reflect on this history. This year, we also experienced another milestone of sorts — the death of our beloved Rev. Richard C. Miller who pastored the church for the majority of these 50 years, from 1974 to 2006. While we continue to mourn his death, we recognize that this is also a fitting occasion to commemorate his ministry and legacy which is intimately bound up with the history of our church.
