Our History - Christ Presbyterian Church of Tallahassee
Introduction
Welcome to the historical journey of Christ Presbyterian Church of Tallahassee, a beloved community rooted in faith and belonging to the Winter Park Christian Church network. Our commitment to fostering a tight-knit community and deepening our spiritual connections has shaped our vibrant congregation throughout the years.
Early Beginnings
Our story begins back in 1975, when a small group of faithful individuals came together to establish Christ Presbyterian Church. Fueled by an unwavering belief in God's love, the church started as a humble gathering in a local community center. With the guidance of devoted leaders, the congregation embraced its mission to provide a welcoming space for worshippers, foster spiritual growth, and serve the wider community.
Growth and Expansion
Over the years, Christ Presbyterian Church of Tallahassee experienced significant growth and expansion. The dedication of our members and leaders propelled us forward, allowing us to build our first permanent place of worship in 1980. This milestone marked an important turning point in our history, as we established a stronger physical presence within the community.
As our congregation continued to grow, we felt a calling to further expand our facilities. With the support of our devoted community, we embarked on a major construction project in 1998, resulting in a beautiful and spacious church building that provided us with the room to accommodate our expanding membership.
