Roswell Presbyterian Church was established in 1839 and is a congregation of the Presbyterian Church (U.S.A.) within the Presbytery of Greater Atlanta.  Since our formation, we have been a church dedicated to reaching out in love and in service to the community and the world.

We are a congregation with deep historic roots, and our Historic Sanctuary stands as a symbol of our gratitude for those who have come before us. It is because of the dedication and commitment of those who preceded us that we are able to be a vibrant community today.

Even as we look back with thanksgiving, our eyes are on the future, and we seek to be open to where God is leading us in a new and exciting world. New opportunities for service and witness are opening to us daily, and Roswell Presbyterian Church continues to be faithful in answering God’s call to share the Good News of his love.

We invite you to experience the love of Jesus Christ by joining with us in worship, pray, give, study, and serve.
