First Presbyterian Church

The First Presbyterian Church in Philadelphia was organized in 1698, just 16 years after the arrival of William Penn. In 1743, a second Presbyterian Church was formed during the "Great Awakening" and erected a large building at Third and Arch Streets. Members of both First and Second Churches were active in the struggle for independence, including three signers of the Declaration of Independence, Dr. Benjamin Rush, Thomas McKean, and James Wilson. After the Civil War, the Second Presbyterian Church constructed a new building at 21st and Walnut Streets, where in 1949 the two congregations reunited to form one church.
