In the spirit of 1812, you are requested to bring your own Bible to the Sabbath service on May 20th.  The King James version was used at that time.  You may want to bring a custion as well.  Also, feel free to don 1812 attire.  Kindly enter through the meeting house front doors.

Next Sunday, May 20th has been designated "Invite a Friend to Church Sunday".  Of course, you can invite a friend to join you any Sunday, but the 200th anniversary of our building is cause for celebration. 

Emma Clark Library has offered Setauket Presbyterian Church the use of exhibit space in honor of our meeting house's 200th anniversary.  Be sure to take some time to view it -- it's in the children's book area.  On display is our "Guide to Godliness", some artifacts from the original steeple, and other other historical books.  The exhibit is only for the month of May.

VBS week is July 9-13, Mon-Fri, 8:45AM - 12 noon.

Vacation Bible School is a cooperative effort of community churchs, using the facilities of the Caroline Church of Brookhaven and Setauket Presbyterian Church.  Registration forms, Volunteer forms, and more details can be found on the VBS page accessed through the link below.

Yes, this web site is an authentic reproduction of the actual web site that was present in 1812 when the current meeting house was built.  (I will try to set the background to something like the 1868 interior color).

There is a display in the church parlor with some photos and explanation of the original decor and photocopies of some photographs showing the early meeting house interior.  The church has had many renovations over the 200 years it has been in use.  Major renovations were in 1868, 1958, and 1985.

The exterior is pretty much the same, except the wood shingles were replaced in 1972 and there are some storm windows.
