In the early 1800s, Presbyterian pioneers from the Carolinas and Georgia moved into the area that came to be known as Quincy. They gathered for worship and in 1828 built a church four miles north of Quincy that they called Philadelphia.
In 1833, the Reverend Mr. Daniel Baker organized the First Presbyterian Church in the village of Quincy. Eight men were ordained to serve as Ruling Elders. After a slow start, the church was reorganized in 1838 and new elders and deacons were elected.
The first house of worship was erected in 1845 on the corner of King and Madison streets. This church stood on that site until 1923. At that time, it was decided a new church building was needed to meet the growing worship and educational needs of the congregation.
The sanctuary we use today is that same structure. However, it was remodeled and rededicated in 1969.
The historic Quincy Academy building, located on the corner of Kings and Adams streets, was acquired in the late 1980s and serves as our Community Outreach Building. It currently houses our Food Bank, Clothes Closet, Cub Scouts and the local office for Habitat for Humanity.
In 2006, a large field and warehouse adjacent to the existing property was gifted to the church. Volunteers planted trees and sod and it is used for recreation and church activities. Future plans for the warehouse building are being developed.
