First Presbyterian Church, Gothic church building in downtown Columbia, United States
The First Presbyterian Church features a tall spire that extends 180 feet into the sky, marking its presence in the Columbia cityscape.
The church congregation, established in 1795, initially gathered in the State House before constructing their first wooden meeting house on the current grounds.
The churchyard cemetery contains graves of Revolutionary War veterans and the parents of President Woodrow Wilson, reflecting deep connections to American history.
The church holds three Sunday services at 8:30 AM, 11:15 AM, and 6:00 PM, with live streaming available for remote attendance.
During the 1925 renovation, architect R.H. Hunt expanded the sanctuary capacity from 800 to 1,250 seats and added an organ loft.
