Georgetown Presbyterian Church
In 1859 a petition was submitted to the Lewes
Presbytery requesting the creation of a
Presbyterian Church in Georgetown. The
congregation was organized the following year.
Meetings were first held in the Sussex County
Courthouse. The church was incorporated in
1871, and the present site was obtained for
the construction of a house of worship. The
new chapel was dedicated in December 1872.
The building was extensively renovated in 1934,
when the church was raised and a basement level
added. The structure was expanded in 1954
with the construction of a church school
addition. A brick veneer exterior was added
at that time. A major expansion project was
undertaken in 1999 with the addition of a
Fellowship Hall and Christian Education
facilities. The new wing was formally dedicated
by the congregation in 2001.
