First Presbyterian Church was established in 1827, Richmond's first church building. Since that time, First Presbyterian has been faithfully serving God's people in both small and magnificent ways. Three buildings have stood on the site of First Presbyterian, with at least two additions to the current structure. The current sanctuary was erected in 1920, with the addition of the Education Building in 1952. The Christian Life Center was built in 1995 and contains staff offices, music rooms, gym, and preschool facilities. Many generations of Presbyterians have chosen to celebrate their weddings; mourn loved ones and baptize precious children and grandchildren within the nurturing family that is First Presbyterian Church.
