History
The First Presbyterian Church of Paoli is a family of believers that has grown closer and stronger over the last several years. In 2001 our 75-year-old sanctuary burned. We did much soul searching and grew stronger in faith. When the Congregation had to finish construction of our new sanctuary, with our own labor, we grew even stronger.
