New York Avenue Presbyterian Church
1313 New York Avenue North West, Washington, DCTel: (202) 393-3700 • Web: Visit this site »
Established in 1793, this church has played an integral part in the lives of many political leaders. Several presidents and cabinet members regularly worshipped here including John Quincy Adams and Dwight Eisenhower. Abraham Lincoln came with his family throughout his presidency. The Lincoln Parlor displays the original hand-written draft of an 'Emancipation Document' from Lincoln to Congress suggesting a bill designed to free the slaves. The church played an active role in the Civil Rights movement; its members joined the March on Selma and worked with local organizations. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. was often a guest preacher.

- Tour conducted by very well informed lay leader!

“A friend and I visited NYAPC on labor day Sunday at the 10:00 am service. Next week, the church switches back to 11:00 am. We had a delightful visit at the church. It just oozes with history. We enjoyed the worship service, the pastor was very friendly and approachable, and the several lay leaders we met were equally as receptive to visitors. Visitors are welcomed to sit in Lincolns original pew which we did. We took the church tour afterwards and found it most fascinating. The church does much outreach to the poor and disenfranchised in the area. Highly recommend anyone to visit.”

“We stood in the pouring rain about 4:30 p.m. Easter Monday this week, and could not get into the church. There was no schedule posted and no one was around. It was my main objective to see the interior where Abraham Lincoln and Peter Marshall had been. I was terribly disappointed!!!!!!”
