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!

War of 1812 Commemoration Features Burials
in Alexandria's Presbyterian Cemetery

Records indicate that some 48 members of the Meeting House congregation were veterans of the War of 1812. Nearly two-thirds are buried in the Presbyterian Cemetery. Scores more congregants who are interred here served in support of the American war effort as civilians—as members of Alexandria’s Common Council, Committee of Vigilance, and other capacities.
