General Info

First Church, all are welcome As the first religious congregation in Buffalo, it s a philosophy we ve served our community with since 1812. Welcome to First Presbyterian Church of Buffalo s website! We hope that you find us an open and caring congregation. No website could really tell the entire story, but we hope that you like what you see and will visit us in person for worship or one of our many activities! First Presbyterian Church was the first faith community in Buffalo. Founded in 1812, it is often referred to as the Mother of All Churches. Even Teddy Roosevelt worshipped here! First might be historic, but it sure isn t stuffy. Home to a diverse congregation drawing from downtown Buffalo, as well as Niagara County, and even Ontario, Canada, people from different walks of life, ethnicities, and races can find a welcoming faith community.
