Lawrenceburg TN Church Check Out First Presbyterian
When I moved to Lawrenceburg, TN, in December 1998 I never dreamed that the Lawrenceburg TN Church I would end up investing the majority of my years here would be First Presbyterian Church of Lawrenceburg TN.
But over the last 4.5 years I have grown to love this Lawrenceburg TN Church … for what it was, what it is, and what it will be with God’s help.
There are plenty of Lawrenceburg TN Churches… over a hundred I guess. I am fascinated by the story of the founding though of THIS Lawrenceburg TN Church. It began in an unlikely way. First Presbyterian Church began when a genteel lady nearing “retirement” age and in her 60’s - Ms. Mary Kay Moody - volunteered for missionary service in Western North Carolina and Eastern Tennessee as a Presbyterian missionary.
So how does a missionary from Mississippi to Eastern Tennessee plant a Lawrenceburg TN church? Good question.
The answer is/was exhaustion. She was sent from the mission field to the old sanitarium in Lawrenceburg TN and it was from her time of recovery that she planted the Lawrenceburg TN church we call “First Presbyterian”.
She ministered to other patients while she recovered.
She then ministered to poor children when she could walk.
She identified people who had faith but no family of faith and her work gathered the Lawrenceburg TN church that now meets at 252 Admiral Circle.
I try to recall the founding of First Presbyterian Church so that I can live out the narrative of its founding in my daily life today. Today, we as a congregation are seeking to live out the meaning of being a church founded by an unstoppable missionary spirit reaching out to those who have no family of faith.
That’s something worth living for I believe. And that’s why, for me, my Lawrenceburg TN Church is First Presbyterian Church!

Free Business Directory Listing
The day people started using “Google” as a verb instead of a noun was the day that Yellow Page advertising started to die. “Local Search” is the name of the game these days for every small business!
In the Local Search marketing world, every “one way” link back to your business is crucial so that when people search for your product or service in your city or town your listing is the first one they see if at all possible.
Because MOST businesses have NO links back to their website, every link helps.
So help yourself out - it’s free.

“Amillennialists are like Episcopalians. They both believe in ‘Random Acts of Kindness’. The former relates them to the kindnesses of God, the latter to the kindnesses of man.”

This has nothing to to with anything, but it’s a fine quote and I, at least, know exactly what he meant!
Hoping to be ordained as a Presbyter sometime before I die, if I don’t get eaten by one of Machen’s cannibal children
