Historical Note
The congregation was formed from the presbytery of Newton in 1823 as a branch of the First Presbyterian Church of Hackettstown and became a separate congregation on November 4, 1831. The congregation built its first edifice in 1824 but re-merged with the First Presbyterian Church of Hackettstown in 1955. The building for the congregation still stands, but is now used as a senior center.
