Rehoboth Presbyterian Church is a historic Presbyterian church located at Rehobeth, Somerset County, Maryland. It is a simple one-story Flemish bond brick building, three bays wide by three deep, constructed about 1706. It was remodeled in 1888, and the original clear glass windows were replaced with the present leaded ones. The interior features a barrel-vault wooden ceiling, box pews with single raised panel on the ends, and a paneled gallery. Its congregation was served in the 18th century by the Reverend Francis Makemie (1658-1708), an Ulster Scots clergyman who is known as the "Father of American Presbyterianism."[2]
It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1974.[1]
