We’ve got answers.

General

  • We’ve heard all kinds of pronunciations! It’s supposed to go something like this: prez-buh-tier-ee-uhn. We call ourselves First Pres. or FPC for short, though.

  • There are different kinds of Presbyterians with different ways of being the church, just as there are different denominations not named Presbyterian (e.g. Methodists, Episcopalians, Baptists). FPC is part of the Presbyterian Church USA, or PCUSA. For the purposes of this forum, the most important takeaway is that we’re a connectional denomination; which is to say Presbyterian churches don’t exist as an island unto themselves. First Pres., for instance, is part of a larger body called the Presbytery of Greater Atlanta, which is a part of an even larger body called the Synod of South Atlantic, which is part of an even larger body called the General Assembly.

  • You can always call the front office at (706) 884-4064 and someone will get back to you!

  • Parking is available beside and behind the church, with designated handicap spaces for accessibility. Additional parking is just a few steps away at our lot located at 204 Broad Street.

  • You can make contributions online via Venmo (@fpclagrange) or through Realm, with options for one-time or recurring gifts, selecting pledge or designated funds like the General Fund or Chancel Guild. For in-person giving, donate by check or cash during worship or by mail, use your bank’s bill-pay, or make tax‑smart planned gifts such as stock donations, IRA Qualified Charitable Distributions, or legacy pledges through The Conine Society

Services

  • Sunday worship is at 10:00 a.m. each week, available in person, online via live video, or on the radio (WLAG 96.9 FM and 1240 AM)

    If you’re interested in Sunday school: adult Sunday School classes meet at 9:00 a.m. and 11:15 a.m.

  • We’re not going to lie, you’ll definitely see people wearing what might traditionally be called their “Sunday finest.” But here’s the thing: for some, that means dresses and suits; for others, that means jeans and a collared shirt. Let’s just be clear: we want you to come as you are. Fancy’s got nothing to do with faith; if anything, it’s quite the opposite.

  • All of our worship services can be watched live (or viewed at your leisure) on our YouTube channel or Facebook page linked on our website (and no, you don’t need a Facebook account to watch).

  • Nursery is provided all year long for our itty-bitties; Children’s Worship takes place starting midway through each service during the school year.

  • Once a month. All are welcome at God’s table.

Missions

  • Getting involved with missions is easy, just show up to one of our many service opportunities or sign up to serve on a committee. Contact James Goodlet to learn more.

  • FPC offers a variety of mission opportunities, including volunteering with Mobile Markets, supporting students and teachers at Berta Weathersbee Elementary, partnering with Circles of Troup County, and helping with local and global outreach projects. There are chances to serve through hands-on work, financial giving, and participation on mission committees.

  • No, there are no age restrictions! FPC encourages people of all ages to participate in our many mission opportunities.

  • You can support missions by giving to the church’s General Fund or specific mission funds through Venmo, Realm, check, or your bank’s bill-pay service.

Groups

  • We have multiple First Group opportunities for all ages, from Bible studies and social groups to youth and children’s ministries. Visit our Groups page to find the right place for you to grow in faith and community.

  • Visit our First Groups page for more information on how to join a First Group!

  • Yes, we offer a Discover First class that helps you learn more about our church, connect with others, and explore how you can get involved. It’s a great first step toward finding your place in our church community.

  • Group sizes vary depending on the study, age group, and focus. Some are as small as 5 people, while others may have 20–30 participants. There's something for everyone, whether you’re looking for a more intimate setting or a larger group experience.

  • Most of our First Groups meet weekly or bi-weekly. There are some that also only meet once a month.
