The First Presbyterian Church of Springfield, New Jersey was organized in 1745. The congregation's second meeting house was destroyed when the retreating British burned Springfield. When the Patriots were running short of gun wadding in the midst of the Battle of Springfield, June 23, 1780, Chaplain James Caldwell rushed into First Church to grasp an armful of Watts' hymnals. He gave them to the American troops with the exhortation, "Put Watts into them, boys!" The present (third) building was erected in 1791.
