Memorial Presbyterian Church

The Memorial Presbyterian Church in Saint Augustine, Florida offers church service and more to the community in which it is located. It was the state's first Presbyterian congregation, established in 1824. The famous Flagler family is entombed at the church and the current sanctuary was a gift given by Henry Morrison Flagler as a memorial to his daughter who died during childbirth. The church welcomes visitors everyday except Sunday for tours of the building at 8:30 and 11 am or 5 pm, led by docents. The church is open for worship on Sundays. The congregation offers fellowship, worship, music, education and pastoral ministry. Sunday school classes are available at 9:30 and 10:30 am and Adult Sunday School meets in the sanctuary, parlor or the education wing following worship. There is a Church Nursery program available for infants and toddlers so parents can attend church and focus on worship while children are cared for in another room. The nursery is also open on Wednesday evenings. Toddlers engage in a church-related lesson during their stay in the nursery. The Adult Education program runs concurrently with the children's program and students study a variety of topics related to the life of Jesus including Jesus Through the Centuries and What Does Resurrection Really Mean?
