First Presbyterian Church (Newburyport, Massachusetts)

The church building is located at 29 Federal Street in Newburyport.

The congregation began meeting in April 1746, following the ministry of the Methodist evangelist and preacher George Whitefield in the region.

In 1756, over 100 men constructed the current meetinghouse on Federal Street in 3 days.

Whitefield died in the church parsonage in 1770 while visiting Jonathan Parsons, and his remains were buried under the pulpit of the meeting house at his request.

Among the notable people to attend church were "Lord" Timothy Dexter, Capt.
