The Presbyterian Church as it appeared in the Spring of 2009. Probably the greatest change is the absence of trees in the current picture as well as the addition of the portico on the side.

The Presbyterian congregation and the Lutheran congregation shared a structure at Church Hill from 1832 until 1852 with each using the building on alternate Sundays. This arrangement ended when in 1852 the current brick structure was erected. The Port Royal Presbyterian Church has been at this location at 4th and Main Streets since that time.
The following note appeared in the Oct. 9, 1907 issue of the Port Royal Times: "Services were resumed in the Port Royal Presbyterian Church on Sunday after having been closed for 3 months, during which time the interior of the building underwent repairs. The new metal ceiling, beautifully decorated, and the handsome side walls, made the church one of the most attractive in the county. Acetylene lights are being installed and when all the details are completed the congregation can look with much pleasure upon their place of worship."

If you look at the various pictures of the Presbyterian Church you will not find much change over the years. (This is a colorized version of a black and white photo.)

Veteran Lt. Col. Carl Decker remembers and honors the service men and women at the Port Royal Presbyterian Church. His appearance was part of a service in recognition that others than military personnel support the war effort. Carl emphasized that the machinist, farmer and women on assembly lines all play an important part. (Photo submitted by Wayne Taylor)
