First Presbyterian Church of Wantage
Historic church in New Jersey, United States
First Presbyterian Church of Wantage (Old Clove Church) is a historic church in Wantage Township, Sussex County, New Jersey, United States. Church records point to a Dutch Reformed congregation founded in 1788, which merged with First Presbyterian Church of Wantage, founded in 1818. The building is situated on a hill, due south of Clove Brook, a creek from which it derives its common name. It was built in 1829 and added to the National Register of Historic Places on September 23, 1982 for its significance in architecture and religion.[3] The structure is no longer used as a church, but the Friends of Old Clove Church continue an inter-denominational service once annually.[4]
