Church History

Church History

ESTABLISHED 1850

Established by the Presbytery in 1850 to serve as a place of ministry to the students and faculty of the university and the townspeople, Auburn Church (now First Presbyterian) has existed in three sanctuaries within the same block of downtown Auburn. It was even used as a classroom space when the main API campus building burned in 1887. George Petrie, author of the Auburn Creed, was an active member of the church for 50 years. Today, with 550 members, First Presbyterian is still an active, thriving mission church both on campus, and in the community.
