Minnesota

 * Wabasha United Church of Christ, Oldest Protestant congregation, founded in 1857 (Congregational)
 * First Presbyterian Church (Stillwater, Minnesota), oldest Presbyterian congregation, founded December 8, 1849.

This implies the oldest Presbyterian congregation was founded before the oldest Protestant congregation, but Presbyterians are Protestants. Jonathunder (talk) 21:47, 15 July 2014 (UTC)

St. Francis Xavier in Maryland
I stumbled across this site, and was a little surprised to see that St. Francis Xavier church in Newtowne Neck, Maryland was not on the list. Parishioners (of which I am one) claim it is the oldest catholic church from the original 13 colonies. The church traces its origin to a Jesuit mission founded in 1640; the current church was built in 1731. This is actually the second church used by the parish; the first church was built in 1662, fell into disuse in the years following the 1689 Protestant Revolution, and the second church was built about a half-mile south of the original site in 1731. This second church has been operating since that time, and is still in use today. Gdlong (talk) 07:07, 17 February 2017 (UTC)

1706 Yeocomico Church
The first Yeocomico Church was erected in 1655. It was a frame building. It was replaced on the same site by a brick church in 1706. That colonial church is still in use and services are held each Sunday at 11:00 a.m. It is located near the village of Kinsale in Westmoreland County, Virginia. George Washington was baptized in this church on April 5, 1732, and the baptismal font used on that day remains as the Cople Parish font. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Yeocomshan (talk • contribs) 16:14, 21 May 2018 (UTC)
