Fifty Oldest Churches in the PCA

The PCA was organized as a denomination in 1973.  Though still a rather young denomination, it may surprise you to find out that about one-third of our churches predate the PCA.  Here’s a list of the fifty oldest PCA churches.  The hands-down winner is in this category is Fairfield Presbyterian Church of Fairton, New Jersey, established in 1680!  Also included in this list, in red type, are those churches that are listed on the National Register of Historic Places.

All praise to God for the faithful witness of these congregations to the saving grace of our Lord Jesus Christ!
