Our Mission:

To be a community of faith dedicated to helping people know, grow, share, and serve as disciples of Jesus Christ.

Brief History:

Organized as the "First Presbyterian Church of Fentonville" on February 28, 1840, our church is one of the oldest in Fenton. The first church building located on the southwest corner of Adelaide and Rockwell was destroyed by fire in 1861.

The present sanctuary was dedicated January 14, 1863.

Several renovations include the most recent expansion of the Chancel in 1992.

The church has had 32 pastors. The very first pastor was Rev. P.S. VanNess, 1840-1843.

The average stay of the early pastors was two to three years serving the church and then the length of terms changed.

The Rev. Hartley H. Stockham was pastor from 1946-1965.

The Rev. Robert Kelley (currently Pastor Emeritus) was pastor from 1965-1994. Emeritus

The Rev. Dale Swihart, Jr., the current pastor, came in 1996.
