History
As the result of a merger at the national level in 1958, the two original Presbyterian Churches in Piqua selected new names. The Associate Reformed Presbyterian Churchat 524 Park Avenue chose to be called Good Shepherd Presbyterian Church, their choice influenced by a popular former pastor, Rev. Kenneth Shephard.
Our featured church, The First Presbyterian Church, also called the Piqua Presbyterian Church, chose to be called Piqua Westminster Presbyterian Church, and held services in the building that was dedicated in 1890 at 325W. Ash Street. Rev. Dr. Daniel Clow, began his service on April 11, 2001, called to replace the retiring Rev. Ron Creager. Sometime later Piqua Westminster Presbyterian Church closed, and by 2007 was called the True Vine Church.
