Jamaica First German Presbyterian Church, Gothic Revival church in Jamaica, Queens, United States
The church building incorporates Late Gothic Revival architecture with a steep slate gable roof and twelve large pointed arched windows.
The German-speaking congregation founded in 1902 started with 40 members who participated in constructing both the church and adjacent manse.
The church has maintained its role as a center for religious services while adapting to serve different congregations throughout the decades.
Located in Queens, the building currently houses the Bethesda Missionary Baptist Church congregation, which performs regular restoration work.
During an evening service in 1910, Reverend Ferdinand O. Zesch passed away while delivering a sermon, an event documented by major newspapers.
