History of First Presbyterian Church, Belmont
From our beginnings in a small wooden church where 28 members worshipped at the end of Main Street, to today where over 600 members are preparing to expand the reach of our ministry with expansion to our current facilities, we have been richly blessed. From our founding families, to the fellowship of faith that has become our church family today, the Lord our God, in his grace and loving kindness, has provided us with the legacy of Christian servanthood to which we now aspire, as we continue to grow as disciples of Christ and stewards of His Church into the future.
