The First Presbyterian Church in the City of New York in
New York (NY)

Had a pleasure of visiting here today, the greeter was extremely helpful. Wanted to see inside the chapel even though service had not begun. He allowed us to see the choir rehearse. Thank you for this beautiful experience. We will never forget it.

I work at the school on this block & usually just want a place to sit on my break. While trying to just peacefully sit i was told I can no longer sit here because I don't have a child or picking them up. What a sad experience at a church. Gate was open and no sign said i couldn't sit here until this man did. Not very church or god-like. Do not fund or support this space.

The First Presbyterian Church in Manhattan, also known as the Fifth Avenue Presbyterian Church, is a historic church located at 7 West 55th Street, New York. It was founded in 1808 and the current building was completed in 1875. The church was designed in a classic Gothic style by architects George B. Post and Carl Pfeiffer, and it features stained glass windows, a tall spire, and intricate stonework. The interior of the church has a grand sanctuary, a pipe organ, and ornate wood carvings. The First Presbyterian Church is a prominent landmark in the area and is a popular spot for weddings, events, and worship services.

Lovely church. Went for the 7 Days Creation exhibit.

Beautiful church. The exceptional woman minister was moved up and replaced with a mediocre male minister who does not have critical thinking skills . Luke warm nice guy, with no fire in the belly. No inspiration for those who yearn to go further and deeper. The congregation is almost totally white and middle, upper middle class. They do put on some events that bring in more depth. But the Sunday routine is pleasant but mundane.

Beautiful church, worth a visit. Good, kind pastor too.

Tout simplement un tournage trouvé par hasard; on ne connait pas les acteurs mais l'équipe technique était nombreuse et très équipée

I love this church! This is my church that I go to whenever I have the time too!

Beautiful and clean!..

Historical place to Visit.

Gods love and compassion there.

Great trainings

So this is the new place where they will be serving Saturday lunch for the homeless and in need. The old place was St. Joseph's at 371 6th Ave. Beautiful church and the food, as always, was delicious. From 1:30pm to 2:30 pm every Saturday. Thank you for the wonderful compassion.

A vision of pure amasment. Wonderful classic gothic architecture. Beautiful place of worship. Have not attended services however I imagine it's typical of it's faith. A must see for out of town visitors to NYC. Who enjoy history and architecture. ????

Great center.

Watched World Pride across the street. L0L

Wonderful congregation representing the diversity of NYC. All should feel welcome.

Make you wait in the hall while they read for 10 minutes from the Bible.

I love the traditional style of service, the warm community and the Grace you can feel in the air

They have a good sermon every Sunday.

I'm writing because I am confused by the previous review. I too live in the neighborhood of Old First. Though I don't live close enough to comment on the air conditioning unit, I've never noticed the sidewalks unkept, and I've never heard the church bells ring except as a call to worship on Sundays (and certainly not playing any pop songs). Also, what food distribution on Saturday mornings? I think that is a different church. Old First does, however, have a number of outreach and community oriented programs, including art exhibits, lectures and concerts, as well as charitable activities. Is the previous reviewer referencing the right church? As a long time Village resident, I certainly feel grateful to have Old First in my neighborhood.

beautiful

Always thoughtful sermons. Caring clergy, many ministries, fantastic choir, and an open and affirming congregation.

Absolutely beautiful church, thoughtful minister, really accepting congregation. Highly recommended!

Very nice church, they allowed me to use the restrooms. Thank you Francis!

Ok

Went there but it was closed in the afternoon. They are renovating the space and will be done in Dec 2016! It will be great from the look of it, the external part.
