About First Presbyterian Church of Trenton
First Presbyterian Church of Trenton is a community of faith rooted in the love of God. We believe worship is not just found in prayer or singing, it’s something expressed in everything we do. We are located in the heart of Trenton, NJ, which allows us to partner with many non-profits in the area as we serve God with one another. Founded in 1712, the history of our congregation is rich, and we love to share about what God has done in our community both historically and today! Join us on Sunday mornings if you're looking for a welcoming church home in the Trenton, NJ area!
