First Presbyterian Church in Jamaica

The First Presbyterian Church in Jamaica is a church in Jamaica, Queens. Organized in 1662, it is the oldest continuously serving Presbyterian church in the United States.
==History==
The church was first organized in 1662. Most of the original members came from Halifax, West Yorkshire, England. Though there are older churches on Long Island, this congregation has not stopped service ever. In 1699, a stone church was built on what is now Jamaica Avenue, paid for by tax dollars.〔 In 1702, the congregations of Grace Episcopal and First Reformed split off. A new church was constructed in 1813〔 near what is now 163rd Street. It was moved, along with a manse built in 1824, in 1920 to the present location at 89-60 164th Street. 2 years later, a bronze tablet was erected to mark the 260th anniversary. In 1925, a church house, now known as the Magill Memorial Building, was erected to accommodate the growing church's need for office and classroom space.〔 In April 2008, the church celebrated its 345th anniversary.〔 Later that year, the church turned down landmark recognition by the New York City Landmarks Preservation Commission.
Pastor Patrick H. O'Connor, along with several other pastors, recently pressed the state of New York Comptroller Thomas DiNapoli to press banks on their high credit rates, and recently called for Citigroup CEO Vikram Pandit to reveal his stance on a proposed 10% cap on credit card interest.
