The Methodist Episcopal Church of Pescadero (currently known as Native Sons of the Golden West Pebble Beach Parlor) is a historic church at 108 San Gregorio Street in Pescadero, California.

It was built in 1890 and added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1982.[1]

It is Gothic Revival in style.[2]

It served as a church only briefly after its completion in 1890; by 1899 church services were only held once a month in circuit rider fashion.[2]

In the 1920s and 1930s it was used by families of Japanese-American agricultural workers for after-school teaching of Japanese language and cultural traditions, but this ended abruptly upon Pearl Harbor.[2]

It served as a school after the 1906 San Francisco earthquake, and was converted to a community center in 1920.[2]

It was later purchased by the Native Sons of the Golden West, Pebble Beach Parlor, and the Native Daughters of the Golden West, Ano Nuevo Parlor.
