The First Presbyterian Church in Philadelphia

First Presbyterian Church in Philadelphia is a historic and active congregation, originally founded in 1698, and known for its long tradition of worship and community presence in Center City’s Rittenhouse Square district. The current church building dates from the 19th century (completed in 1872) and stands out for its Victorian Gothic architecture and classic elements such as Tiffany-style windows. The church offers Sunday services (and livestream) as well as a vibrant program of community life — including worship, fellowship, music, outreach, volunteering, and events — presenting a welcoming and inclusive environment for congregants and visitors alike.
