Rehobeth Presbyterian Church
Rehobeth Presbyterian Church, Presbyterian church in Westover, United States.
Description
Rehobeth Presbyterian Church is a brick building featuring Flemish bond construction with a three-bay layout located in Westover. The structure retains original wooden framework and architectural details typical of colonial-era religious buildings.
History
The congregation was established in 1683 and represents one of America's oldest Presbyterian communities. Significant renovations occurred in 1888, when new leaded glass windows were installed to replace the original clear panes.
Culture
The interior displays wooden box pews and paneled walls that show how colonial worshippers arranged their space for prayer and community gathering. These furnishings reveal the practical and social aspects of early American religious life.
Practical
The building sits near the Pocomoke River and connects easily to Maryland Route 667 for vehicle access. An active cemetery on the grounds provides context for understanding the site's place in local community life.
Did you know?
The congregation was founded on land donated by Francis Makemie, a key figure in establishing the Presbyterian faith across early America. This makes it one of the longest continuously active houses of worship in the nation's religious history.
