Our mission is to spread the message of Christ by worshiping together, nurturing genuine relationships, developing Christ-like character while serving those in need.
our vision
AS A LIVING SACRIFICE
I appeal to you therefore, brothers and sisters, by the mercies of God, to present your bodies as a living sacrifice, holy and acceptable to God, which is your spiritual worship. Do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your minds, so that you may discern what is the will of God—what is good and acceptable and perfect.
- Romans 12:1-2
about KPCoW english ministry
The English Ministry was first organized in August 1998 under the auspices of the Session of the Korean Presbyterian Church of Westchester. From its inception, the English Ministry has grown and matured into what you find today.
Our worship services are a blend of contemporary and traditional formats. We lift up songs of praise using contemporary Christian music while our worship follows a more traditional format. On occasion, we will worship together with our parent congregation, the Korean Ministry.
We are eager to have you join us during our Sunday worship services. Our doors are open to all who desire to learn and worship together. Please contact us if you have any questions.

building history
The First Presbyterian Church and Lewis Pintard House is a pair of adjacent historic buildings in downtown New Rochelle, New York, USA. The church and its adjoining manse, the Pintard House, are on a 3-acre lot. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1979.
The First Presbyterian Church had its origins as the French Church formed by New Rochelle's early Huguenot settlers. The church is a Colonial revival structure with granite quoins, designed by John Russell Pope, architect of the Jefferson Memorial. Completed in 1929, it replaced the congregation’s first church, which had been destroyed by fire.
Adjacent to the church building is the Pintard House, one of New Rochelle’s oldest remaining houses. It was constructed in part by Alexander Allaire sometime before 1710. In 1765 it became the home of a prominent New York City merchant named Pierre Vallade who came to New Rochelle on his retirement. After Vallade died in 1770, his widow married Lewis Pintard, whose name came to be associated with the house. Pintard was a local merchant and Revolutionary War patriot who was appointed by the Continental Congress to provide assistance to American prisoners held in the City of New York during British control. The Pintard House was moved to its current location in 1928.
