First Presbyterian Church Kirkwood
Located in the heart of Kirkwood, Missouri, on the same corner of East Adams and North Kirkwood Road (Lindbergh) that the original church was built on more than a century and a half ago, the First Presbyterian Church of Kirkwood carries on it’s long tradition of worship, learning, fellowship and service.
Back then, in 1856, Kirkwood Road was called Webster Avenue and the original small brick church was surrounded by a grove of oak trees with a white picket fence between it and the street.
Today, First Presbyterian Church is a vibrant and growing church, with an enthusiastic, worshipful, and welcoming congregation. The church building itself has also grown with a two-story stone education building attached to the east side of the existing church that was added in the 1920s and newer additions recently made to accommodate exciting new programs.
Most importantly as a venue for the St. Louis Women’s Chorale, the church’s beautiful interior offers a perfect concert space with very good acoustics along with an intimate, friendly feel despite its large and impressive design.
Elliot Chapel, Kirkwood
Located in the historic district of Kirkwood, the chapel facilities are built around a historic limestone structure which houses the sanctuary. The expanded facility housing the classroom and gathering place have been constructed more recently.
Music and the Arts permeate the Chapel's activities. The organization regularly participates in various aspects of the community through worship services, fundraisers, social events and talent expositions.
