In the fast-paced university community of Athens, GA First Presbyterian Church sits at the very heart of town. Located just three blocks from the University of Georgia and in the center of the vital downtown of Athens, First Presbyterian Church attempts to offer the personal touch of Jesus Christ amid the town and gown atmosphere. Located on historical Hancock Ave. and College Ave., our congregation reaches out in the name of Christ to a world in need. As you browse this wonderful Web site, you will discover opportunities for involvement in fellowship, service, outreach, worship, and education.

I believe that the more we put into our congregation, the more we will get out of it. As we invest more of ourselves in God and one another, we truly become members of God's family. We then become friends and family with one another rather than simply a sea of faces in a large and growing congregation. I invite you into active involvement with the First Presbyterian Church family! Help us to continue to be "The Church with a Heart in the Heart of Athens."
