Churches in Aston Township
Aston Presbyterian
2401 Baldwin Run Road, Aston, PA 19014 (610) 494-2634
It was late in the year 1862, when the founder of this Church, Thomas Reaney, who was concerned about the need for Christian training for the people who worked for him. On December 14, 1862, through his efforrts and the sympathetic response of the neighborhood, a Sabbath school was started in the Academy Building on Second Street in Chester.
Through the efforts of Thomas Reaney, his son William and Samuel Archbold, a partner in the shipyard, the original Church building and land was given as a gift to the congregation. In accordance with the custom of the Presbyterian Church, a petition, signed by thirty-three persons, was presented to the Third Presbytery of Philadlephia to organize a Church according to the ecclesiastical policy of the New School Presbyterian Church. These thirty-three persons met at 4:00 p.m., with a committee of Presbyterian, in the new house of worship on February 15, 1866 to organize the Church. Due to The Act of the Pennsylvania Assembly incorporating the city of Chester on February 13, 1866, the official name chosen for the Church was Chester City Presbyterian Church, but it became known as the Second Presbyterian Church since it was the second organized in Chester. Actions to change the name of the Church to Second Presbyterian were declared illegal and the official name remained until the change to Aston Presbyterian in 1984.
