In January 1866 the Biggsville United Presbyterian Church was formed and in the summer of 1868 a portion of the present church building was completed. Over the next 75 plus years additions were made to the church to bring it to what it is today including several beautiful stained glass windows.
The church has had 20 pastors over the past 150 years, the current pastor, Reverend Dr. Richard Johnson has been serving the congregation for 14 years.
During the worship service on Sunday we will have special music provided by Vince Whiteman, and assisting Rev. Johnson with the service will be Rev. Travis Shafer and former pastor Rev. Richard Brownlee.
Please come to the Biggsville United Presbyterian Church for a fun filled weekend full of sharing memories, history, fellowship and worship.
