Fourth Presbyterian Church

Fourth Presbyterian Church in Washington was formed in 1828 when the city had 15,000 people, United States had 24 states, and John Quincy Adams was President. The congregation grew and in 1841 built a new building across the street from its original structure known as the "The Little White." The new structure was the largest church in the city, and President John Tyler and his cabinet attended its dedication. Fourth moved to 13th and Fairmont Streets NW in 1928 and built on River Road in Bethesda, Md., in 1957. As a church body we seek to delight in God's glory, demonstrate his grace, and declare his gospel to the ends of the earth.
