Welcome to
Medina First Presbyterian Church

The only church on Main Street, Medina

Welcome to First Presbyterian Church, located at 522 Main Street in the heart of Medina, New York. Established in 1829, our church stands as the village’s second-oldest religious congregation. Our historic building, constructed in 1893, showcases the charming Romanesque Revival architecture with its modest scale and elegant features. As a contributing property to the Medina Main Street Historic District, our church is notable for its light massing, raking arched corbel tables, and quaint round-arched windows. Whether you are exploring our rich history or seeking a place of worship, we warmly invite you to join our community and experience the timeless beauty of First Presbyterian Medina.

Rev. Dr. William Wilkinson

What we offer

At our church, we offer a variety of services to support both the spiritual and practical needs of our community. Sunday worship begins at 11:00 AM, with nursery care and Sunday School provided during the service, though these programs are paused during the summer months. Our building is fully handicap accessible, ensuring that everyone feels welcome and included.

Throughout the year, we host special events and gatherings such as Lenten Lunches, which foster fellowship and reflection during the season. Our church is also a place where life’s important milestones are honored—we provide services and space for weddings and intimate receptions, as well as support for families through baptisms and funerals. In times of grief, we offer bereavement counseling to help individuals navigate loss with care and compassion. Bible study sessions are held regularly to encourage spiritual growth and deeper engagement with scripture.

Leading our congregation is our pastor, who has been with us for the past seven years following his ministry in the Rochester area. With 18 years of experience in pastoral ministry and a previous career in medicine, he brings a unique blend of insight, compassion, and dedication to his role in serving the church and community.
