About
Our Mission is to Serve, Love, and Grow in ever-widening circles of Christ's Grace.
First Meridian Heights Presbyterian Church (U.S.A.) is a warm, open family of faith in the heart of the Meridian-Kessler, SoBro and Butler-Tarkington neighborhoods. With a rich history of community engagement and service, we continually seek to share God's love beyond the walls of our church. At the same time, we're committed to nurturing the faith - and meeting the needs - of those who gather inside the church (in-person or online). If you would like to be reminded that you are a beloved child of God, partner with others in the work of compassion and justice, grow as a disciple of Jesus Christ, and be part of a casual and creative, fun and faithful community, we would love to have you join us!
In early August of 2020, during an outdoor worship service, we introduced our prayer chimes as a way for the congregation and neighborhood to remember others in prayer. We'd all heard the hard news that school would be online for the foreseeable future, so we invited students to pray for teachers and friends so they could feel closer to them while they were apart. We tied on prayers for healthcare workers, parents, and people who were sick, grieving, unemployed, and lonely. We added prayers for racial justice, for the families of Ahmaud Arbery, Breonna Taylor, and George Floyd. Our neighbors soon joined us and added their prayers just as we had hoped!
In September of this year we added space for more. When the wind blows, we remember that God hears all of our prayers and that the Holy Spirit is at work in our lives and in the world!
