This congregation, established in the 1780s, is overseen by the Presbytery of Newton.The first church building was erected in the 1786 at the time Rev.

The third and present edifice was built in 1869–1872 of native blue limestone and described as being "plain but beautiful...in its simple style of architecture."

It is also included as part of the Newton Town Plot Historic District which was approved and entered on the National Register of Historic Places on 12 November 1992.The current pastor (2013–present) of the First Presbyterian Church of Newton is the Rev.
