OUR HISTORY

First Presbyterian Church of Levittown

Coinciding with the tremendous population growth and taking advantage of the available land set aside to establish places of worship, April of 1952 brought fifteen (15) Presbyterian worshippers along with officials of the Philadelphia Presbytery, to arrange for the formation of a new church.  Within weeks a congregational meeting convened and agreed to create a new church which became the present First Presbyterian Church of Levittown.

The chosen construction site — located near the intersection of Green Lane and Bristol-Emilie Road – was a tract then surrounded by cow pastures, cornfields, broccoli farms and asparagus patches.

At the completion of the building, a dedication ceremony was held on Sunday, September 12, 1954.  The new Church would be the first house of worship to be instituted in Levittown.
