Geneva Orthodox Presbyterian Church
Our History

Geneva OPC was begun as a mission work of the Orthodox Presbyterian Church in September 1998, with elders from Redeemer OPC of Doraville, Georgia providing oversight. Rev. Dr. John Fesko was appointed by presbytery as evangelist. In April 2004, Geneva OPC was organized as a separate congregation of the OPC, with its own ordained officers. Rev. Fesko was called by the congregation to be pastor.

Rev. Fesko resigned as pastor, effective June 30, 2009, having accepted an appointment to the positions of academic dean and associate professor of systematic theology at Westminster Seminary California. His sermons will continue to be available on this website. 

Rev. Fesko's publications include:
