Our history begins with people meeting in their homes for worship about 1676. They decided to build a meeting house and chose the plot of ground on the Manatawny Indian Trail on the southeastern side of Methacton Ridge (now known as Germantown Pike and Trooper Road , Fairview Village) that was being used as a burial ground. The first church was built of logs. The present stone building, pictured at left and now known as the Old Norriton Presbyterian Church, was erected in 1698.

The year 1730 saw a split in the congregation between the Old and New Lights. A portion of the membership called the "New Lights" withdrew, formed the Providence Congregation and built a log church on a plot of ground being used as a burial ground on the Great Road on Providence Hill (now Ridge Pike, Eagleville). This is now the old part of our cemetery. In 1741, the log church was replaced by a stone building

In 1758, the two congregations united and became known as the Norriton-Lower Providence Presbyterian Congregation. They worshiped alternately in the two church buildings.

In 1774, a plot of ground southeast of the cemetery was purchased for a new church and, in 1775, a church building with box pews was erected on the site of our present church building. The Norriton and Providence Churches were incorporated on March 18, 1822 , and became known as "The Presbyterian Congregation of Norriton-Lower Providence."

The cornerstone for a larger church was laid on March 25, 1846 , and in 1868 the church was replaced by a larger building. The first part of our present church, built in Georgian style, was 65 feet long, 42 wide, and 18 feet high with three aisles and ten windows, five on each side.

A trustee's meeting, April 18, 1878 , resolved to take the sanctuary's front wall down, move the gallery back, add 15 feet to the length of the building, place steps inside, and build a new Gothic-style front with side walls pointed with stone. The addition was completed January 20, 1879 .

On August 14, 1913 , a contract was made to build an addition to the rear of the church for a Sunday School and basement and to add a steam boiler to heat the church, replacing the wood and coal stoves. October 14, 1951 , saw a dedication for the first addition to our present Sunday School building, Williams Hall, the kitchen, etc. In 1964, a dedication was held for the final addition to the Sunday School building, Rowland Parlor and gymnasium.
