The Hollis Presbyterian Church was founded in 1922 by Dr. Frederick Todd Steele after receiving permission from the Presbytery of Brooklyn-Nassau to establish a Sabbath school in the Hollis area. Five adults and two children attended the first service which was held on January 15, 1922 in a chapel of the Jamaica Reformed Church that was located near Jamaica Avenue and 189th Street. The present building dates from about 1927. |
