The First Reformed Episcopal Church (formally Saint Alban's Anglican Church: The First Reformed Episcopal Church) is a congregation of the Reformed Episcopal Church in New York City. Incorporated by REC founder George David Cummins in March 1874, it was among the first newly established REC congregations after the REC's 1873 schism from the Episcopal Church in a dispute over Tractarianism. During First REC's history, it has held services at several locations throughout Midtown Manhattan, first at Madison Avenue and East 55th Street, then in multiple facilities on East 50th Street, and most recently at Tudor City.
