First Presbyterian Church in Jamaica, Presbyterian church building from 1813 in Jamaica, Queens, United States.
The church complex includes three buildings along 164th Street, featuring a sanctuary, a manse, and the Magill Memorial Building with multiple facilities.
The congregation's original stone church from 1699 on Jamaica Avenue served as a British prison for patriots during the Revolutionary War.
The church congregation represents people from 35 different birth nations who participate in weekly worship services and community programs.
The church operates a food pantry on Tuesdays and provides grab-and-go meals through their soup kitchen service on Wednesdays.
In 1920, the church sanctuary was placed on logs and moved by mule from Jamaica Avenue to its current location on 164th Street.
