Synopsis

First Presbyterian Church of Chicago: A chronological history offers a clear, well‑structured look at Chicago’s oldest Presbyterian congregation and its choirs.

This nonfiction work traces the church’s life from its beginnings through consolidation, with a special focus on music as part of worship.

The book frames the story around four key arcs: the church’s founding and early growth, the ministry of its pastors, the rise of its choirs, and how music shaped the service. It blends historical notes with moments from choir life, providing context for the soundscape of a 19th‑ and early 20th‑century urban church.
  • A chronological account of the congregation, its pastors, and the life of its choirs
  • A detailed look at church music, choir journals, organists, and musical leadership
  • Profiles of notable pastors and the evolving role of music in services
  • Contextual history of Chicago’s religious life and its public record
Ideal for readers of local church history, Chicago history, and the cultural role of music in worship.
