Memorial Presbyterian Church, St. Augustine, Florida, is a congregation of the Presbyterian Church (U.S.A.) We are Florida's first Presbyterian congregation. Established in 1824 the present sanctuary was given by Henry Morrison Flagler and dedicated in 1890 as a memorial to his daughter Jenny Louise Benedict who died from complications from childbirth. Mr. Flagler, his first wife, Mary, daughter Jenny Louise and grand daughter, Marjorie, are entombed in the Flagler family mausoleum at Memorial. The church is open for visitors Monday-Saturday from 9:00 a.m. until 4:00 p.m. and for worship on Sunday. We are an active congregation with a full range of worship, music, education, fellowship, and pastoral ministries. Memorial Presbyterian Church members are vitally involved in the life and work of the community and the church reaches into the community and, in concert with others, into the world with the good news of God's love in Jesus Christ.
We would like to invite you to worship with us when you might be visiting St. Augustine. Enjoy a tour of the church by one of our docents during the week and return at 8:30 or 11:00 a.m. on Sunday to join us in worship. Our visitors come from across the state, the nation, and the world. If you are new to St. Augustine and St. Johns County, we hope you will consider becoming a part of our community of faith, joining us in worship, witness, fellowship, and service.
We cherish our tradition but we are very much alive and at work in the present and looking to the future that God is crafting for us. Please take a few moments to look through our website and feel free to pass along any comments or suggestions you might want to share.
