Our History

"What does the Lord require of you? To act justly and to love mercy and to walk humbly with your God." In many respects, this verse from the Old Testament Prophet Micah sums up the history of Canonsburg United Presbyterian Church. For almost two and a half centuries the Presbyterians of Canonsburg have been serving Jesus by seeking to act justly, love mercy and walk humbly with God.

The following pages take a backwards glance to gratefully remember all those who have planted seeds in the beautiful garden that has blossomed into Canonsburg Church. From the pioneer days of Matthew Henderson to the modern times of building renovations, one thing has not changed about the Presbyterian Church of Canonsburg — God is faithful to us! "O God, our help in ages past, our hope for years to come."

The text that follows in the links below is a revision and expansion of the 1975 history of the Canonsburg United Presbyterian Church that was written for the church’s 200th Anniversary.
