The Presbyterian Church at Shrewsbury
352 Sycamore Avenue
Shrewsbury, New Jersey 07702

The Presbyterian Church at Shrewsbury (TPCAS) pre-dates the signing of the Declaration of Independence by more than forty years. Though steeped in history, the church faces the problems of an ever-changing world through a variety of fresh and engaging programs.

Beginnings - Scottish Presbyterians began settling in Shrewsbury in 1685 and for a number of years held services in private homes. John Boyd, the first Presbyterian minister to be ordained in this country, held services in Shrewsbury as early as 1705.

Land - Our first church building was constructed in 1735, on land deeded to the Presbyterians by Nicholas Brown. This building served the congregation until 1800.

War - The church was active in the War of Independence. One of our pastors, The Rev Charles McKnight, was arrested for preaching sedition and revolution and was imprisoned for two years.

Building - Our church building burned in 1800 and for the next twenty years Presbyterians held services in Christ Church, next door. The corner stone for the present building was laid in 1821 and the building was completed the following year. The bell tower was added in the 1840’s, the social room in 1895, and the steeple in 1964.
