Church was consecrated, one of the stipulations of the denominational designation was the establishment and maintenance of a library and archives. Since that time the Library and Archives Department has become one of the valuable resources of the church ministry and programs. In 2012 the William Smith Culbertson Memorial Library was designated by the national Church and Synagogue Library Association as the Outstanding Congregational Library of the United States. With a collection of over 18,000 items in various formats the library is one of the largest religious church libraries on the eastern seaboard of the nation. The Chapman Memorial Archives is a collection of over 450,000 documents and records of the church, its three predecessor congregations as well as a repository of minutes of the General Assembly of the Presbyterian Church (USA) denomination. Many of the library's resources are available online through the church web site.
