Old Pine Street Church is a Presbyterian Church in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania built in 1768.[1]
American Revolution
Old Pine became known as the "Church of the Patriots", because many of the parishioners such as John Adams, stood with George Washington. George Duffield served as pastor from 1772 until 1790; during the American Revolution, Duffield served as a chaplain of the Continental Congress.
Current Activity
It is now the only remaining Presbyterian building in Philadelphia from before the American Revolutionary War.[2]
