First Presbyterian and Trinity Church

About this church

First Presbyterian and Trinity Church is a diverse South Orange congregation formed when First Presbyterian, organized in 1831, and Trinity, organized in 1892, united in 1935. Its mission explicitly welcomes people across race, ethnicity, finances, age, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity, and disability. Varied music, inclusive language, children’s formation, mission, advocacy, and a long commitment to arts, education, interfaith work, and racial inclusion shape its Presbyterian identity.

Summer Sunday worship begins at 9:30 a.m. through September 6, 2026. The regular September-through-June service begins at 10:30, lasts about ninety minutes, and is available in person and by Zoom after requesting access from the office. During the program year, children from preschool through middle school begin in worship and leave after the children’s message for age-grouped learning; another overview extends Sunday School through high school, so families of older teens should confirm placement. Nursery care for infants and toddlers is available for the entire service. The church currently says no adult Bible study is operating. Visitors should use 9:30 during the published summer window, then return to 10:30 rather than treating both times as parallel services.
