Presbyterian history in New Alexandria

According to the "Red Book", the Presbytery of Blairsville in session at Congruity on April 4, 1837 appointed the Rev. Messrs. Thomas Davis and Samuel McFarren a committee to organize a church at New Alexandria.  The committee met on May 4, 1837 to receive on Certificate of Transfer, mainly from the Congruity church several persons.  On October 3, 1837, Presbytery met for the first time in New Alexandria in our original church when a call was presented for Rev. David Kirkpatrick to become pastor of this church. 

The congregation of the United Presbyterian Church of New Alexandria was regularly organized on August 19, 1805 and in 1807 Rev. Mungo Dick became pastor in connection with the Mt. Pleasant and Sewickley churches.  There was no church building of any denomination in New Alexandria at this time.

At a joint meeting held on June 15, 1958, the Presbyterian Church and the United Presbyterian Church, both of New Alexandria,voted on the union of the two churches and on October 12, 1958, called as it first pastor Rev. Charles F. Reynolds.  It was agreed to call the union of these two churches, The Community United Presbyterian Church.
