"The First Presbyterian Church was formed May 6, 1820 by sixteen people originally from the same section of South Carolina. Rev. Andrew Brown was the first minister.
In 1877 Dr. Charles H. Stillman aroused the church to the need of education for the negro and founded Stillman Institute. During the ministry of Dr. Charles M. Boyd 1910-1931 the present sanctuary was built.
