SINCE 1909

A 117-Year Story of Faith & Community

Founded as the Union Chapel in 1897 and chartered as First Presbyterian Church in 1909, our congregation has been a beacon of hope in Palisades Park for generations.

From the generous gifts of the Edsall family that built our sanctuary and bell tower, through the Great Depression, World War eras, and the beautiful multi-ethnic revival since the 1980s — we have worshiped in English, Mandarin, Korean, and Spanish, serving over 200 families through our 12 co-host4ed programs, and short-term missions.

URGENT NEED

Our Historic Home Needs Your Help

The sanctuary, parsonage, grounds, and outbuildings are in critical condition after decades of use and weather.

Overgrown and debris-filled yard

Neglected Grounds

Tree stumps, debris, unsafe parking, and unusable outdoor space.

Construction debris pile

Structural Damage

Cracked foundations, collapsed sheds, and unsafe parking areas.

Outdated mechanical systems

Aging Systems

Without immediate restoration, our ability to serve the community through worship and service programs is at risk.
