Bridgehampton Presbyterian Church
The Bridgehampton Presbyterian Church is an historic Long Island church that was founded in 1670 by Calvinists, who at first held religious meetings in the homes of settlers of Sagg and Mecox, rather than walking 10 miles to Southampton for services on Sunday.
By 1686, the settlements erected their first “meeting house” on Bridge Lane in Bridgehampton. Then in 1695, Rev. Ebenezer White was ordained and installed as the first minister of the Church of Christ in Bridge Hampton. He graduated from Harvard, began his ministry at the age of 23, and after 53 years of leading the Bridge Hampton congregation, he retired and lived in Sagaponack until his death at the age of 84. Prior to his retirement, in 1717, Rev. White helped to form the first Presbyterian Synod in the Colonies.
