PRESS RELEASE:

2019 marks the 161st anniversary of our Sanctuary at First Presbyterian Church. For almost two years, repairs and restoration have been in process to replace the roof, replace the steeple, restore the stained glass windows, install ventilation for windows, replace the cornices over the windows, and more.

The next step in the restoration will be tuckpointing and cleaning the brick. In layman's terms, tuckpointing is the process by which old, deteriorated mortar is removed and replaced with a new, time-appropriate mortar. This process is needed to help preserve the building and make sure our space is here for generations to come. To assist with the cost of the tuckpoint project, FPC has applied for a Historic Preservation Grant with the State Historic Preservation Office. We are pleased that our beautiful historic building might revive assistance to repair the walls and restore the uniform character of the brick.

In all we do, we pray that God is glorified in our efforts.

Respectfully,

Rev. Kyle Schmidt

Pastor

About Our Church

First Presbyterian Church is affiliated with the
Presbyterian Church (U.S.A), Presbytery of East Tennessee,
and adheres to the essential tenets of the Presbyterian faith.

Our Vision Statement

First Presbyterian Church of Cleveland, Tennessee

is led by The Word of God,

motivated by Christ’s love as a family of believers,

and committed to bringing the Light of the Spirit

to our diverse and changing community.

In January 2017 our congregation completed a comprehensive survey which our Mission Study Task Force used, along with multigroup conversations, in compiling the below report.

It is our hope that, with guidance from the Holy Spirit, our church can use this information to fulfill God's plan for us over the next 5, 10, 20, or 180 years.
