First Presbyterian Church, Columbus, GA (MC 171)

Scope and Content

The First Presbyterian Church Records comprise two series. The first series are the original and microfilm materials relating to the history of the church. This series includes session minutes, Board of Trustee minutes, deaconate minutes, scrapbooks, and various other historical materials circa 1833-1995. These materials arrived at Columbus State University in September 2006 and were previously housed at the Presbyterian Historical Society in Montreat, North Carolina. Due to the closing of the facility, the church decided to house the materials at Columbus State. The second series includes videotapes of various services and other events related to the church, circa 1991-1996. The church donated these materials to CSU in 2002.
