Dear Visitor, Welcome to the
website of First Presbyterian Church, Clarkesville, Georgia! We are a lively,
thriving and growing congregation (200 strong!). The historic church, founded
in 1832, is planted in the midst of northeast Georgia's beautiful mountains. Our Worship
Services are dynamic, filled with worshippers who come to praise God and
experience the presence of the Holy Spirit. Our children (including Youth)
are active participants during worship. Some are Acolytes, some reenact
Biblical stories during Children's Time, others sing in the Kid's Choir, and
some serve as ushers or as Liturgist readers. Although our
younger children participate in 'big church' they also have their own
Children's Chapel Worship Service which we recently inaugurated. Our Youth
Group, 'CrossRoads,' meets on Sunday mornings as
well as on Wednesday nights. We
offer mid-week 'Wonderful Wednesdays' with a pot-luck meal followed by
programs for adults, youth and children. We provide childcare both Sundays
and Wednesday nights. We have 8 Sunday School Classes, divided between adults
and children and meet at 10:15 a.m. on Sundays. We work at the
Soup Kitchen, serve as Prayer Partners in the local free health clinic, and
have recently partnered with Habitat for Humanity to become a Christ-centered
resource center for Habitat families. We are renovating a historic house,
which will serve as the center for our Mission and Outreach ministry. We are on the
move and trying to keep up with what God is calling us to do. If you are
looking for a church home, we hope you will visit with us and we pray that
this church feels like 'home.' Blessings to
you,
