All are welcome to worship and participate in activities at First Presbyterian Church. The church has occupied a site in the middle of Athens since it was organized in 1809 by the first president of Ohio University, Jacob Lindley. Presbyterians played a vital role in the development of the city and the university. Four of the first five presidents of the university were Presbyterian pastors.
Worship at First Presbyterian Church:
10:30 a.m. worship >> Join us in the sanctuary for worship of God using song, scripture and prayer (see bulletin). Children, youth and adults all participate in sharing God's word during the service. NOTE: Worship services are replayed on channel 9 on the Athens cable system every weekday at 9 a.m. and on the weekends at 5 p.m.
