First Presbyterian Church (Washington, Pennsylvania)

The First Presbyterian Church 1793, alternatively known as the First Presbyterian Church, is a Presbyterian church in Washington, Pennsylvania. It has been the de facto college church for Washington & Jefferson College since the early 19th century. It's under the Washington Presbytery.
==History==
It was founded in 1793 under the auspices of the Presbytery of Redstone. Matthew Brown, who was President of Washington Academy at the time, was the first pastor.〔 The congregation first met in the stone academy building of the Washington Academy.〔
Then, the congregation worshipped at the second courthouse, where the pastor would stand in the judge's bench and preach to the congregation.〔 The congregation acquired its first building in 1806.〔 As Washington progressed beyond the pioneer stage, the townsfolk began to partake in more leisurely activities, including the playing of cards and attending dances.〔 Reverend Matthew Brown gave a rebuke to this immorality in a famous sermon known as the ''Serpent Sermon.''〔
A second building, in the Greek Revival Architecture style, was built in 1851.〔 It had severe structural flaws and was demolished in 1868.〔
James I. Brownson, who also served as President Pro Tempore of Washington & Jefferson College, was pastor for over 50 years.
