The First Presbyterian Church of Newton (or Newton Presbyterian Church) is a Christian house of worship affiliated with the Presbyterian Church (USA) located in the Town of Newton in Sussex County, New Jersey in the United States. This congregation, established in the 1780s, is overseen by the Presbytery of Newton.〔Presbytery of Newton. ("The Presbytery of Newton Encompasses Churches in Four Counties of New Jersey" ). Retrieved 30 April 2013.〕
The first church building was erected in the 1786 at the time Rev. Ira Condit, a 1784 graduate of Princeton University was installed as the congregation's first pastor. This first edifice was razed for a larger, second building at the site, erected 1828-1829. The third and present edifice was built in 1869-1871 of native blue limestone and described as being "plain but beautiful...in its simple style of architecture."〔New Jersey Herald (26 August 1869).〕〔United States Department of the Interior, National Park Service. (National Register of Historic Places Registration Form: Newton Town Plot Historic District ) (filed 1 October 1992, approved 12 November 1992), Section 7, pages 34-40. NRIS Reference Number 92001521. Retrieved 16 July 2013.〕 While described as simple, the building is a combination of architectural styles that is chiefly Italianate and Renaissance Revival architecture but incorporates elements associated with the Classical Revival and Romanesque Revival styles.〔 The church was damaged in an 1893 fire, and restored with funds from parishioners, including Newton industrialist Henry W. Merriam (1828–1900). At this time, Merriam donated several stained glass windows, including one over the altar depicting Jesus Christ in the Garden of Gethsemane.
On 26 October 1979, the First Presbyterian Church of Newton was placed on the New Jersey Register of Historic Places.〔New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection, Historic Preservation Office.
