WELCOME
The calling and legacy of First Presbyterian Church in Jamaica is to welcome all God’s children and transform lives. We have served at the heart of Jamaica, Queens for over 350 years, and we have become a vibrant multi-cultural congregation, with congregants from over 35 birth nations. We strive to provide a place of safety and support for the community, build meaningful relationships and character growth in our church family, and place the transforming power of Jesus at the center of our worship life.
Organized in 1662, we are the oldest continuously serving Presbyterian church in the United States.
