Historical Note: Connersville First Presbyterian Church was originally organized in Connersville, Fayette County, IN on October 3, 1824, by Rev. Daniel Hayden. The first church building was constructed in 1833 between Fifth and Sixth Streets. The congregation moved to a new building in 1845 on West Fourth Street. In 1851, a group withdrew (a New School movement) and organized the Constitutional Presbyterian Church of Connersville (Second Presbyterian Church of Connersville). The new church built a building on the corner of Seventh and Central Streets in 1855. On November 11, 1870, the First Presbyterian Church of Connersville and the Constitutional Presbyterian Church merged back into one church, the First Presbyterian Church of Connersville. As a congregation, they elected all new leaders, excluding trustees, and decided to use the building on the corner of Seventh and Central Streets. Through the years, additions were added onto the church including rooms, stained glass windows, and normal maintenance and repairs. The church is still active today.
