BIBLE STUDIES ATHENS

The present membership of the church is nearly 400 confirmed members. During the many years of its existence, First Presbyterian Church has been led by many dedicated ministers, who have been supported in their work by generations of faithful men and women. This church, with its stained glass windows, towering steeple and bell, fine pipe organ, and beautiful sanctuary is a fitting memorial to those Christians whose faith, courage and love of God are a part of our heritage.

First Presbyterian Church, Athens, was organized in 1829. The first building was constructed in 1852 at the southwest corner of Washington and Monroe Streets. In less than ten years it fell victim to the ravages of the Civil War. By 1869 the only remains were the damaged brick walls and the church bell.

The Old Testament of the Bible tells of how the people of God were governed by elder statesmen. Similarly, in the New Testament, the Church invited those with particular gifts--for teaching, preaching, ministering to others--to share in the governance and mission of the church.

The office of deacon is set forth in Scripture as one of sympathy, witness, and service, following the example of Jesus Christ. Persons of spiritual character and honest repute, who lead exemplary lives, spread brotherly and sisterly love, possess affection and warmth, and display sound judgment should be chosen for this office.

The Presbyterian Church (U.S.A.) is distinctly a confessional and a connectional church, distinguished by the representation of elders - laymen and laywomen - in its government. We do mission - locally, nationally, globally - by setting priorities for our available resources, guided by the emphases given by our General Assembly, the annual meeting of clergy and lay commissioners who represent the presbyteries of the church. Through the General Assembly, all Presbyterians have a voice in setting…

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.

We do mission and its related functions in "good Presbyterian order" through the structures of our General Assembly, synods, presbyteries, and local churches, which provide accountability in a connectional system.

The United Methodist Church believes God's love for the world is an active and engaged love, a love seeking justice and liberty. We cannot just be observers. So we care enough about people's lives to risk interpreting God's love, to take a stand, to call each of us into a response, no matter how controversial or complex. The church helps us think and act out a faith perspective, not just responding to all the other "mind-makers-up" that exist in our society.
