Long Creek Presbyterian Church is a member of the Presbyterian Church (USA) and sits on a hill in Gaston County, North Carolina, in a rural area between Bessemer City and Kings Mountain. Long Creek was organized by the Orange Presbytery of the Synod of New York and Philadelphia in 1780. One of the oldest surviving churches in Gaston County, the Long Creek Presbyterian Church building was built in 1876, almost a century after the congregation was formed. This Greek Revival church is a single-story, frame building which rests on granite piers and has been underpinned with masonry brick. In December 1993, the historic sanctuary was saved from a fire which destroyed a brick choir room addition attached to the wood frame sanctuary building. The fire, determined to have been set by an arsonist, heavily damaged both the sanctuary and the Sunday School building. In the year following the fire, the church, under the leadership of former pastor Rev. James S. Welch Jr., rebuilt the choir room addition and renovated the sanctuary in keeping with historical registry requirements. The church is listed on the Gaston County historic properties registry.
