Welcome to The Presbyterian Church of Washington!

We have been ministering to residents of Washington, Missouri, since 1850, and our membership as of January, 2006 was 224. Our denomination traces its beginnings to 16th century Europe when John Calvin (of Switzerland) and John Knox (of Scotland) established Presbyterianism. Several signers of the Declaration of Independence were Presbyterians, and since 1983 our local church has belonged to the national Presbyterian Church (U.S.A.) Our church is a member of the Presbytery of Giddings-Lovejoy.
Presbyterians observe two sacraments, Baptism and Holy Communion. If you are a Christian visitor (of any denomination), we invite you to participate in Holy Communion during our Sunday worship services. If you wish to consider joining our church, please contact our pastor, the Rev. Bill Vincent at 239-3178.
Our members share their talents in a thousand ways. To do the work of Christ, we need people who are teachers, leaders, cooks, gardeners, listeners, seamstresses, carpenters, motivators, musicians, artists, typists, organizers…the list is endless. We offer programs for all ages, and visitors are always welcome to attend.
The Presbyterian Church of Washington brings together the traditional and the new as we seek to worship and serve God together. As we remember God's faithfulness in the past, we are called to serve God today in new ways. In 1993, we moved from a small traditional building to a modern facility. In June of 2000, we celebrated our 150th anniversary. Our traditional stained glass windows brought from the previous church building blends into the contemporary architecture of our new sanctuary.
