First Presbyterian Church of Annapolis, Maryland

HISTORY

Our sanctuary was originally built as the Hallam Theater in 1828. The congregation was formed in 1846, one year after the establishment of the Naval Academy, and the new congregation purchased the theater, changing it into a space for worship. The room was enlarged and remodeled, including the addition of the church steeple, in 1948. The education building with the McBee Fellowship Hall was added in 1958. Over the decades, the three houses beside the church on Duke of Gloucester Street and the Zimmerman-Wilson House, behind the church on Conduit Street, were added to the campus buildings and dedicated to ministry and mission. One of the buildings on our campus, known as the Red House, serves as a permanent place for AA meetings in the area. We recently completed and dedicated a chapel on campus, which is open daily for public prayer.

VISION + CORE VALUES

We seek to uphold and enact these core values in all our ministry and outreach. The following is a summary:

• We seek to be reformed/always reforming.
• We are intentionally a downtown community where Annapolis is our classroom and home base.
• We seek to cultivate open hearts, open minds because we have a reverence for relationships.
• We enact radical hospitality and justice.
• We work to make tiny footprints for the sake of the earth.
• We are church Monday through Sunday.
