First Presbyterian Church, Historic Presbyterian church in Augusta, United States

First Presbyterian Church is a stone church at 642 Telfair Street in Augusta, Georgia. Its long side wall has a row of tall arched windows separated by pilasters, and a low roof. A square tower on the right holds a pointed-arch entrance, a circular window above, and an octagonal belfry with a slender spire ending in a cross. The sanctuary was built in 1809–12 to a design by Robert Mills, and was altered in 1847 with round-arched windows, doors and crenellated parapet walls.

First Presbyterian Church was established in 1804 and its sanctuary, designed by Robert Mills, was built in 1809–12 and dedicated in 1812. In 1847 it was altered with Romanesque round-arched windows and doors and a crenellated parapet. In 1861 it hosted the first General Assembly of the Presbyterian Church in the Confederate States, and Joseph R. Wilson, father of Woodrow Wilson, was its first minister.

The church's Ladies' Foreign Missionary Society was already collecting donations by 1925; church statistics call it the first such ministry in the world. The congregation also began a missions conference, an annual retreat and workshop for missionaries and their families where Augusta residents hear about work in the field.

The building sits in a central location in Augusta and is accessible on foot. Visitors should plan to arrive during standard Sunday hours when most activities and tours are available.

A minister named Joseph R. Wilson, the father of future U.S. President Woodrow Wilson, led the church from 1858 to 1870. His tenure here connected the church to a family that later shaped American leadership.
