Our History:

First Presbyterian Church has a long and distinguished history in Cedartown. The church dates its origins back to 1853, but its present organization dates from 1873.

The Original Sanctuary was located in downtown Cedartown at the intersection of Philpot and Herbert Streets. Weaknesses in that structure forced the congregation to consider relocating, which they did in 1964.

We moved to our present location on West John Hand Road at a time when the paved roads in Cedartown went only as far north as Peeks Park. At the time, the church's new location was considered to be on the very edge of town. If only those pioneers had known what God had in store for us. In 1976, an addition comprised of a Fellowship Hall, Library and classrooms was added to the church.

We are a member congregation in the Cherokee Presbytery of the Presbyterian Church, USA.

Our Present:

While we are in many ways an 'older congregation', we are also a congregation with active families, teenagers, children, and infants. We are a generationally diverse congregation with members representing every age and interest.

We are a congregation that is growing in faith, in size, and in service. We are faithful in our worship and committed in our witness. We expect to grow in our faith and to spend time with each other in Christian fellowship.
