Pennepack Baptist Church

It is one of the oldest Baptist congregations in North America, and is situated in the 23rd Ward of Philadelphia, near Pennypack Creek (also known as the Pennepek).

The congregation of this church was founded in 1688 by Elias Keach, the son of Benjamin Keach, as the first Baptist church in Pennsylvania, and originally was based on Calvinist (Reformed) theology.

Ebenezer Kinnersley, a notable scientist, served as minister for a period during the 1700s.
