First Presbyterian Church

In 1800, Winchester Presbytery organized the congregation that was worshipping in Old Stone Church as the Presbyterian Church in Winchester.

Howard Shockey & Sons was the general contractor for First Presbyterian Church’s first major addition in the 1960s. In 1998, Shockey was selected again to renovate the 200-year-old original sanctuary.

In 2007, church growth prompted another expansion, and Shockey built it. The centerpiece of the latest addition is a 500-seat fellowship hall outfitted with high-end audio and video equipment. First Presbyterian also gained a commercial kitchen, restrooms, music and choir rooms, and a cohesive gathering space to join the old and new buildings.
