First Christian School is a private non-denominational educational institution which caters to students in preschool through eighth grade. Founded in 1997, the school offers academic programs which focus on general studies such as math, science, history and English, as well as art, physical education, technology and language classes.
This small church is located just west of Highway 29 and shares access from First Street with its larger neighbor, Crosswalk Community Church. Christians meet here every Sunday for worship services, and twice a week for bible study.
Although the downtown Napa's Salvation Army thrift store is gone for good, the mission at the corner of Franklin and Randolph streets still holds regular worship services, Bible study and specialized classes for women, children and teens.
Currently the Napa Corps operates much-needed programs for community members in need. The Napa Corps’ signature program is a five-day a week free lunch program. Community members in need can go to The Salvation Army in Napa for a free lunch Monday through Friday. This program has seen an increase in attendance due to the current economic climate. On some days, the program feeds more than 70 people a day.
The Salvation Army also runs numerous Youth programs, including summer camping opportunities and musical training. They also operate an Emergency Disaster response canteen, and the Napa team responds to local emergencies when called upon by serving hot meals and cold drinks to first responders and survivors.
