First Presbyterian Church is part of the Presbyterian family of churches in The American Church Story. 388 congregations of the Presbyterian family gather across New Jersey — 11,342 across the United States on The Church Map.

Presbyterians gave American Christianity much of its backbone: seminaries, catechisms, and shared government by elders rather than by one man, a habit that shaped the country's civic life as much as its churches. They have been among the most persistent builders of colleges, hospitals, and mission agencies this nation has.

Within a few blocks of these doors, more than 2 in 10 renting households pay over half of everything they earn just to keep a roof over them. More than a third of the children here are growing up below the poverty line, and more than a third of the people here live below the poverty line. That is two thousand neighbors — and some of them are already in these pews.
