Our congregation's inception dates back to 1809, recognized as the First Congregational Society. Originating from humble beginnings, our worship ceremonies took place at a Meeting House in Attica, under the guidance of Rev. Royal Phelps.

In 1829, the dedication of a wooden frame church building added a milestone to our growth. Built on land graciously granted by Parmenio Adams, this place of worship served our congregation for nearly 45 years. A prominent feature of this building, and a testament to our village's history, is the tower, which has housed the Attica village clock since its installation in 1829.

Transitioning to the Presbytery of Genesee in 1823 and then siding with the Presbyterian Church in the United States in 1835, we have leveraged our history to evolve as a congregation. Our first installed Presbyterian pastor was Rev. James B. Shaw, who served at the very beginning of this transition.

In 1873, we bid farewell to our wooden church as it was moved from its original location and erected a beautiful red-brick church in its place, which stands strong to this day.
In 1924, we enriched our services with the installation of a historic Johnson and Son organ, Opus No.744, built in 1890. This organ, originally displayed at the Chicago World's Fair in 1893, was donated by Robert S Stevens, a generous contributor to the church. With 912 pipes in 17 ranks, it stands at the rear of the sanctuary, filling the air with its resonating tones every Sunday.

Our church has been a celebration of milestones, from our 100th anniversary as a congregation in 1909, the renaming to The First Presbyterian Church of Attica in 1935, the expansion and addition of the Parish Hall in 1958, to our grand bicentennial celebration in 2009.
