First Presbyterian Church of Atlanta

First Presbyterian Church of Atlanta is a house of worship in central Atlanta, located at the intersection of Peachtree and 16th Street next to the Woodruff Arts Center. The building displays classical architectural features typical of early 20th century church design.

The church was founded in 1848 as Atlanta's first Presbyterian congregation, marking the city's early religious growth. The congregation relocated to its current location in 1916, where they constructed the building that stands today.

The congregation welcomes visitors to participate in Bible studies and services that shape the spiritual life of its members. The church serves as a gathering place where people experience community and connection.

The church is easily accessible on foot from the Woodruff Arts Center and sits in a vibrant neighborhood with many nearby amenities. Visitors should note that the interior is only open during service times.

The interior houses a large organ built by Henry Pilcher's Sons that has produced music for over a century. This instrument with its many pipes represents the craftsmanship of an era when such instruments were constructed entirely by hand.
