Welcome
Founded in 1772, the Old Presbyterian Meeting House is an historic and vibrant congregation in the heart of Old Town Alexandria. We are an inclusive, justice-seeking congregation of more than 1,000 members. We see ourselves as a community of people who have been called by God to worship, study, and serve together as a visible sign of what God intends for all of humanity.

Whether you are a life-long Presbyterian or just beginning to explore the Christian faith, we encourage you to learn more about us. There may well be something of interest to you here. If you are looking for a new church home, we hope you will visit us soon!

   Rocky Laha, Pastor

The first total eclipse across the United States in 99 years will occur on Monday, August 21. Join us for a viewing party at the Presbyterian Cemetery, an open space away from buildings that is recommended for viewing —just bring your lawn chairs and refreshments. The eclipse begins at 1:17 p.m. and is at the maximum for our area at 2:42 p.m. Please come with eclipse glasses that can be ordered on-line. Click here for information on the eclipse.

NOTE: Beware of vendors selling unsafe eclipse glasses (WaPo article)

Dr. Anna Carter Florence as our Rally Day preacher and teacher! For the past two decades she has served as Professor of Preaching at Columbia Theological Seminary in Decatur, GA. A graduate of Princeton Theological Seminary and Yale University, Dr. Florence is interested in preaching and public proclamation, and preparing leaders who can speak and listen in multiple contexts for ministry.
