First Presbyterian Church of Newtown, Presbyterian church building in Elmhurst, Queens, United States.
The First Presbyterian Church of Newtown features granite and brownstone construction with an 85-foot bell tower and steep slate roof at Seabury Street.
Founded in 1652 by English immigrants under Dutch control, the church received its charter from the Philadelphia Presbytery in 1715 and moved to its current location in 1924.
The congregation includes members from over 40 different nations, reflecting the multicultural character of the Elmhurst neighborhood in Queens.
Sunday services commence at 11:00 AM in person, while Wednesday prayer meetings occur at 7:30 PM through online platforms for remote participation.
The entire church structure underwent relocation in the 1920s, moving backward half a block to accommodate the expansion of Queens Boulevard.
