The first Pacific Union College Seventh-Day Adventist church met in the former Angwin resort dance hall. The first meeting was December 31, 1909, and Pacific Union College had just moved from Healdsburg to Angwin. The church had 42 charter members.

By 1919 the church had more official quarters-the chapel of the newly completed college building. Three years later, in 1921, church membership had grown to 290. Until 1947 the church was pastored by the head of the college religion department. The first of these was Elder A. O. Tait and the last was Elder Paul Quimby. The first person called to be full-time pastor was Elder Paul Campbell who served from 1947 to 1950.
