Cutchogue Presbyterian Church is one of the oldest churches on the North Fork, formed in 1732 as Cutchogue Church. After its dedication in 1852, its distinguishing steeple with bell was added. A pipe organ was added in 1905 and was recently refurbished. Today, the Reverend Robert Griffin leads a small congregation of about 40 people at the church. North Fork Reform Synagogue shares the building with Presbyterians for their worship services on the first and third Friday of each month.
This is the only church on the East End that belongs to the Presbyterian Church in America denomination. According to the pastor, Mark Middlekauff, Grace was started to give first generation families on the East End a welcoming church and sense of community. The congregation has about 60 to 80 members in the winter and 120 in the summer.
The church offers a nursery during Sunday services for toddlers and Sunday School class for children four-years-old through 6th grade. Monthly, from October through May, Grace offers Second Saturdays Out for young children. Parents can drop off their kids and enjoy a night out without them.
Letters to the church should be addressed to P.O. Box 2520, Southampton, NY 11969.
