It shares the distinction of being the oldest church in Troy along with the former First Presbyterian Church of Troy. The block of land at 112th Street and 4th Avenue, the "Green", was donated to the church for religious purposes by Abraham J. Lansing. The brick of which the church was built was brought over from Holland for the erection of a house for Abraham's son Levinus. Believing God's house to be more important, Levinus generously donated the bricks to the Church. On June 22, 1794 the church was dedicated. Rev. Jonas Coe, D.D. was the Church's first pastor, later to become principal of Lansingburgh Academy in 1796.

  In 1844, the growing prosperity of the Church, under the pastoral care of Dr. Villeroy Reed, seemed to call for a new edifice, more central and better adapted to the needs of the Church and village. Construction of the present building at 115th Street and 3rd Avenue was begun and opened for services April 22, 1845. The church edifice proper was later enlarged and remodeled in 1869 and rededicated in the summer of 1870.

    Our present Fellowship Hall was erected in 1869-70 to replace the old Session House. A new Meneely Bell and pipe organ were purchased and installed at this time in the main church.

    The last major remodeling project of the sanctuary was in 1913.

    In the early 1950's, with the Sunday School attendance averaging 200, the congregation successfully undertook a $75,000 capital building campaign resulting in the 1957 completion of a new Christian Education Building dedicated as the Genung Memorial in memory of the Church's twelfth pastor, Rev. Seth N. Genung, D.D.

    In 1992 we joyfully celebrated our Bicentennial. Now at the beginning of our third century of service in Christ's ministry, although fewer in number, our congregation continues to be committed to unselfish giving and service in the vineyard of the Lord.
