Mays Landing Presbyterian Church is a historic church built in 1841 and located at Main Street and Cape May Avenue in the Mays Landing section of Hamilton Township in Atlantic County, New Jersey, United States. It was documented by the Historic American Buildings Survey (HABS) in 1938[2] and was added to the National Register of Historic Places on April 20, 1982, for its significance in architecture and religion.[3] The church was added as a contributing property to the Mays Landing Historic District in 1990.[4]
The church is a brick building using Flemish bond and designed using Greek Revival architecture. The front portico features Doric columns. The land was donated to the church by Samuel Richards, who owned the Weymouth Iron Furnace. The Reverend Allen H. Brown served as pastor 1846–1854 and 1862–1872.[3]
