Westhampton Presbyterian Church dates back to 1742 with a rich history of strength and activity. The present church building was built in 1887 in simple New England traditional style. We recently added classrooms, a modern office, a pastor's study, a choir room and handicap accessible bathrooms, plus a fire sprinkler system for the entire church. A stained glass window was installed adding beauty to our church.
Where many Presbyterian churches nationwide have been sliding slowly backward, Westhampton Presbyterian has been thriving. We are a growing church, filled with members and friends who are deeply involved in a wide variety of programs. As of December 1999, WPC had a membership of 452 and over one hundred friends; 24 new members joined; and 15 were baptized. Ten members entered life eternal.
Our dedication to mission giving has made us one of the most generous in the Presbytery, and a commitment to caring has led to many acts of involvement in local need. We have a history of being financially solvent; in fact, in two of the last three years our pledge goal was exceeded by approximately ten thousand dollars. Our church has no mortgage.
We are a member of the East End Presbyterian Parish, consisting of 14 eastern Long Island churches, which promotes fellowship between area churches and coordinates worship, training, and mission activities for member churches.
Our Memorial Garden provides a place for internment of ashes and reflection and honor for the community
