Message from the Pastor
Ours is a small, historic congregation located in the Hamptons, with roots in the Reformed tradition, offering opportunities for spiritual growth, service, and fellowship in the name of Jesus Christ. As a congregation of the Presbyterian Church (U.S.A.), we embrace the six “Great Ends of the Church”:
If you are seeking a church home, we invite you to worship with us to see if God is calling you to worship, grow, and serve with us. Please know that you are always welcome at the First Presbyterian Church of Amagansett.
About Our Pastor
A new church member reports that his “church shopping” ended when he and his wife experienced worship under Pastor Howarth’s leadership, for, he said, “the preaching reflected the balance of scholarship, emotion, and applicability we were looking for but had not been able to find.” A church elder once said of Pastor Howarth: “Don’t be fooled by Steve’s easy manner and ready smile, he’s strong and deeply principled.” Pastor Howarth’s wife, the Rev. Nancy O’Neal Howarth, is also an ordained Presbyterian minister. Together they have two children, Jim and Kate, both college students. Bagpiping (as player, band member, competitor, and instructor) and motorcycling (on his ’97 Harley-Davidson FLHTC) are favorite pastimes for Pastor Howarth. Pastor Howarth stands ready to offer compassion and assistance to all who are in need, regardless of church affiliation. He would welcome hearing from you.
