First Presbyterian Church of Wilkinsburg

The First Presbyterian Church of Wilkinsburg is one of the oldest in the Borough being organized in 1866. The congregation built its first church in 1866 on South Ave at Wood Street before the area became a business district.

By 1899, the growing congregation moved to Wood St at Wallace Ave and sold their South Ave structure to the Christian Church. In 1983, the Presbyterians sold the Wallace Ave building to the Covenant Church of Pittsburgh. It is now headquarters for Bishop Joseph Garlington ministries.
