First Presbyterian Church, Presbyterian church building in Rittenhouse District, Philadelphia, US
The stone church at 21st and Walnut Streets features French and English Gothic architecture, with detailed stained glass windows and a prominent tower completed in 1901.
Founded in 1692, First Presbyterian Church started in Barbadoes Warehouse before moving to its current location, where architect Henry Augustus Sims designed the structure dedicated in 1872.
The congregation includes members from various backgrounds and established programs like Reading Buddies, connecting young students with seniors for intergenerational reading activities.
The church offers both in-person and online worship services, making religious participation accessible to attendees through multiple channels of engagement.
Three signers of the Declaration of Independence - Benjamin Rush, Thomas McKean, and James Wilson - were members of First Presbyterian Church and Second Presbyterian Church.
