Welcome

The congregation of First Westminster Presbyterian Church is excited you've stopped by to visit our online home.  The only thing that would make us happier is if we were able to greet you in our historical sanctuary and share with you the beauty of this place of worship we call home.

A downtown church in urban Jefferson County, Ohio, First Westminster is striving to be a witness to the Ohio Valley as we share the gospel of Jesus Christ.  As you'll see when you visit our "Ministries" page, First Westminster is a spot where much ministry and mission take place in the heart of Steubenville, Ohio. 

Every Sunday the members and guests of First Westminster Church gather to celebrate traditional worship accented with contemporary elements.  We hope you'll visit us soon.

The History of First Westminster Church

First Westminster Presbyterian Church has its beginning even before Ohio became a state.  In 1801 Presbyterians first met to form the congregation that would one day become Westminster Presbyterian. 

It was 1914 when Westminster Church began as a merger of two former Presbyterian congregations.  This early Jefferson County church has the esteemed privilege of having Nationally acclaimed evangelist Billy Sunday laying their cornerstone and preaching on its inaugural Sunday in 1914. 

For nearly 75 years the congregation on North 4th Street continued to spread the gospel of Jesus Christ.  Then in the late 1980's another merger with the former First United Presbyterian Church (formerly located just one block away in the 200 block of North 5th Street) created what is now known as First Westminster Presbyterian Church.

First Westminster Presbyterian Church is part of the Presbyterian Church U.S.A.

Located in the Upper Ohio Valley Presbytery of the Synod of the Trinity
