Church Cornerstone 100th Anniversary!

On September 19, 1926, the cornerstone for our new church building (Ralph Adams Cram, architect) on Glen Street was laid in a service of worship and hope for the future of First Presbyterian Church of Glens Falls. According to "The Cornerstone of the Future: Entering Our Third Century" published in 2008, several people associated with the new construction, Rev. Caughey, Louis Fiske Hyde, chairman of the Building Committee, and others from the church shared remarks with the congregation gathered that day. Before the benediction, the choir sang “How Firm a Foundation.”

A cornerstone represents a public commitment to build a physical home for ministry and worship. It also reminds us that the true foundation of our community of faith is not a building, but God, through Jesus Christ. As we reflect upon the cornerstone laid a century ago, we are reminded of the faith, hope, and commitment of those who came before us, and of our own responsibility to build faithfully for the generations to come.
