The First Presbyterian Church of Pennington, originally known as the Hopewell Presbyterian Church, is a historic congregation founded in 1709 in the borough of Pennington in Mercer County, New Jersey, United States. The current church building, located at 13 South Main Street, dates to 1875 after an 1847 Gothic structure burned down the previous year.[3] It was added to the National Register of Historic Places on August 24, 2011 for its significance in architecture. The red brick building was designed by architect James Bird and features Victorian Gothic architecture. The listing also includes the cemetery on the south side of the church.[4]
