You do not have permission to edit this page, for the following reasons:

This IP address has been blocked from editing Wikipedia.
This does not affect your ability to read Wikipedia pages.
Most people who see this message have done nothing wrong. Some kinds of blocks restrict editing from specific service providers or telecom companies in response to recent abuse or vandalism, and can sometimes affect other users who are unrelated to that abuse. Review the information below for assistance if you do not believe that you have done anything wrong.

The IP address or range 35.171.0.0/16 has been blocked (disabled) by ‪JJMC89‬ for the following reason(s):

The IP address that you are currently using has been blocked because it is believed to be a web host provider or colocation provider. To prevent abuse, web hosts and colocation providers may be blocked from editing Wikipedia.
You will not be able to edit Wikipedia using a web host or colocation provider because it hides your IP address, much like a proxy or VPN.
We recommend that you attempt to use another connection to edit. For example, if you use a proxy or VPN to connect to the internet, turn it off when editing Wikipedia. If you edit using a mobile connection, try using a Wi-Fi connection, and vice versa. If you are using a corporate internet connection, switch to a different Wi-Fi network. If you have a Wikipedia account, please log in.
If you do not have any other way to edit Wikipedia, you will need to request an IP block exemption.

How to appeal if you are confident that your connection does not use a colocation provider's IP address:
If you are confident that you are not using a web host, you may appeal this block by adding the following text on your talk page: ((unblock|reason=Caught by a colocation web host block but this host or IP is not a web host. My IP address is _______. Place any further information here. ~~~~)). You must fill in the blank with your IP address for this block to be investigated. Your IP address can be determined here. Alternatively, if you wish to keep your IP address private you can use the unblock ticket request system. There are several reasons you might be editing using the IP address of a web host or colocation provider (such as if you are using VPN software or a business network); please use this method of appeal only if you think your IP address is in fact not a web host or colocation provider.

Administrators: The IP block exemption user right should only be applied to allow users to edit using web host in exceptional circumstances, and requests should usually be directed to the functionaries team via email. If you intend to give the IPBE user right, a CheckUser needs to take a look at the account. This can be requested most easily at SPI Quick Checkuser Requests. Unblocking an IP or IP range with this template is highly discouraged without at least contacting the blocking administrator.

This block will expire on 05:20, 2 December 2024.

Even when blocked, you will usually still be able to edit your user talk page, as well as email administrators and other editors.

For information on how to proceed, please read the FAQ for blocked users and the guideline on block appeals. The guide to appealing blocks may also be helpful.

The '''Nassau Presbyterian Church''' is a historic congregation located at 61 Nassau Street in [[Princeton, New Jersey]], United States. It has been the home of many important figures in the history of [[Presbyterianism]] in the United States as a result of its proximity to [[Princeton University]] and the [[Princeton Theological Seminary]].  The church operates the [[Princeton Cemetery]] and is a contributing property to the [[Princeton Historic District (Princeton, New Jersey)|Princeton Historic District]].  The current pastor is The Reverend Dr. David A. Davis.

==History==

[[File:Princeton NJ Presby PHS768.jpg|thumb|left|upright=1.3|First Presbyterian Church on a vintage postcard.]]
[[File:Princeton NJ 2nd Presby PHS769.jpg|thumb|left|upright=1.3|Second Presbyterian Church on a vintage postcard.]]

===First Church===
The Presbyterians of central [[New Jersey]] had two places of worship in either [[Lawrenceville, New Jersey#History|Lawrenceville]] or [[Kingston, New Jersey#Kingston Presbyterian Church|Kingston]]. In 1756 the College of New Jersey (now [[Princeton University]]) opened in Princeton and services were held in [[Nassau Hall]]. A few years later funds were collected to build a church to serve the growing population of students and teachers. The newly constructed First Presbyterian Church of Princeton opened in 1766. [[John Witherspoon]], the President of the College, began his 25 years tenure as pastor of First Church in 1768.

===Witherspoon Church and Second Church===
As time progressed, divisions within the church occurred and the church spun off two local Presbyterian Churches.  After the building burned down in 1835 church notes indicate that African-American members were encouraged to leave the congregation leading to the founding of Witherspoon Street Presbyterian Church.<ref>((cite news|title=Presbyterian Churches To Hold Joint Services|url=http://papersofprinceton.princeton.edu/princetonperiodicals/cgi-bin/princetonperiodicals?a=d&d=TownTopics19900124-01.2.138&srpos=2&e=-------en-20--1--txt-IN-%22Nassau+Presbyterian%22+history----#|access-date=19 April 2014|newspaper=The Town Topics|date=24 January 1990))</ref>   Later that same decade the [[Nassau Christian Center|Second Presbyterian Church]] was chartered by those who sought a less formal worship style and desired different pastoral leadership.  Efforts to merge the three congregations back into one were attempted at various times over the years including an effort led by [[Woodrow Wilson]].((citation needed|date=January 2017))

===Nassau Presbyterian Church===
In the early 1970s, First Church and St. Andrews (the new name of Second Church) were without installed pastors.  The churches decided to merge but were concerned about one church absorbing the other.  The decision was made to create a new church out of the two (the Witherspoon Church was invited to the merger but declined) and Nassau Presbyterian Church was chartered in 1973.  The initial congregation had 2,335 members with 1,759 and 576 coming from First and St. Andrew's, respectively.<ref>((cite web|title=A Brief Account of the Heritage and Creation of Nassau Presbyterian Church|url=http://www.nassauchurch.org/home/history.php|access-date=13 May 2014))</ref>  The former building of St. Andrews was sold in 1978 to a new church plant of the [[Assemblies of God]], the [[Nassau Christian Center]].<ref>((cite web|title=Nassau Christian Center History|url=http://www.nassauchristian.org/ncc/welcome/ncc-history/|access-date=13 May 2014|url-status=dead|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140513100945/http://www.nassauchristian.org/ncc/welcome/ncc-history/|archive-date=13 May 2014))</ref>

The church is part of the national [[Presbyterian Church USA]].
