The following information is from the
City of Worthington website:
"Worthington Presbyterian Church - 733 High Street
The Worthington Presbyterian Church has been at this site since the original building was completed in 1830. One of the congregation's most illustrious pastors was Rev. Thomas Woodrow, grandfather of President Woodrow Wilson. This 1927 building inaugurated the classical revival construction boom throughout the community."
The following additional information is from the Worthington Presbyterian Church website:
"In 1927, sixty-four years after plans for a second building had been discussed, a new building was dedicated. The building was started under the pastorate of Dr. Edward Milton Page and completed under the pastorate of Tom Penn Ullom. Reflecting the village’s deep feeling for history, a colonial structure housing a beautiful nave was combined with the 1832 building (it was turned around and encased in brick). The community and the church began to mushroom in 1950. A new educational unit was added in 1952-1953 and further expanded in 1964. A new sanctuary, with its charm and dignity reminiscent of our community’s New England heritage, was dedicated in the autumn of 1959. In 1992, a new educational wing and Chapel were dedicated, using land the church had purchased in the 1960’s. Our recent building renovations and expanded sanctuary were dedicated on October 23, 2005."
