I don’t actually attend church here, but I’m in a group that uses the facility a lot. The pastor and the church are incredibly welcoming to the community and this is a very classic building in a great location.
Old First hosts a lot of community organizations, and recently, when the synagogue up the street had problems during their holy days, Old First opened their doors and let them use their facilities for their worships.
The downside is that the church is definitely starting to fall apart and could use a handful of help from their members and the community. Their boiler was recently having problems (I do think it’s fixed now), but that made for some very cold times in the building, and the pews are in various states of disarray and tend to disappear every once in a while. The walls have started to peel inside and the outside tends to attract some sometimes unsavory characters, but overall a great institution to have in the Slope!

I’m a deacon at the Church and wanted to respond to the first review. Our building is indeed old and we are in the long-​term process of restoring it, on a budget. I would love for some historical society to show up and offer us a lot of money for this purpose!
Recently we have started to re-​plaster and re-​paint the walls of the sanctuary. In the past several years, we have also repainted the narthex and lower halls, and restored our organ and our Steinway piano.
We welcome visitors to come and look at our sanctuary or meet members of our congregation!

This is a gorgeous old church and I think in a few hundred years will make a glorious candidate for restoration. Just look at what they do to churches in Europe. This church was very elegant, inside and out, but does show signs of its age. paint peeling off the walls, stains, and well used seat cushions, and floors. The stained glass windows can prob use a scrubbing too. But a very beautiful church on the whole though.
