First Presbyterian Church
First Presbyterian Church, Presbyterian church in Galveston, United States
The First Presbyterian Church at 1903 Church Street features Norman Romanesque architecture with rounded arches, stone walls, and ornate details throughout the structure.
Built in 1872 under architect Nicholas J. Clayton's direction, this church replaced the first wooden religious building constructed in Galveston during the 1840s.
The Presbyterian congregation maintains strong connections with the Presbyterian Church (U.S.A.), the Synod of the Sun, and New Covenant Presbytery organizations.
Sunday morning services begin at 10:30 AM, with fellowship gatherings starting at 11:00 AM, while the church office responds to inquiries at +1 409-762-8638.
The church structure occupies 0.40 hectares of land and received recognition as a Recorded Texas Historic Landmark in 1968, preceding its National Register listing.
