1837

College Avenue Presbyterian Church, established 1837, formerly Upper Alton Presbyterian Church, heralds Elijah Parish Lovejoy, editor and martyr to freedom, as its first pastor.

Emerson wrote, "The brave Lovejoy gave his breast to the bullets of a mob, for the rights of free speech and opinion, and died when it was better not to live."

The people of this congregation continue to strive to dismantle the prejudicial barriers that separate our churches, businesses and community. Elijah's mantle is cast upon all who will keep the vigil and ensure that Lovejoy's legacy will live on.

"...let us do justly, love mercy, and walk humbly with our God."
Micah 6:8
