About Us
First Church — as we humbly call ourselves — is the oldest congregation in Lake County.
We began as a church during the presidency of James Madison, the fourth US President. Founded in 1810, we have been ministering within Painesville and the wider community for more than 200 years.
Formally, we are First Church, Congregational, with a membership of 300 people drawn from all segments of our community. No matter who you are or where you are on life’s journey, you are welcome here.
