First Presbyterian Church wants to share its long history with local historians, long-time Greeneville/Greene County families, as well as those new to the area who are curious about Greeneville’s past. Its history book, Doak Balch and the Presbyterians Who Followed: A History of First Presbyterian Church, Greeneville, Tennessee, Its Roots & Its Branches, 1780-2020, is currently at the printer and will be available starting Sunday, October 29, 2023.
The volume is currently available for pre-order on the church’s website. While it was originally estimated to be in hand by now, it is at the printer and will be available beginning Sunday, October 29, 2023, when the church will hold services highlighting its history at 8:30 AM and again at 11 AM. A baked potato bar lunch served by the Presbyterian Women will follow at 12 PM with an additional program to remember the past. Pre-ordered books will be available at that time and books will be sold. The community is invited to participate.
The link to pre-order is firstpresgreeneville.org/fpc-history-bookpreorder. Ordering by check is also possible by sending $49/book to First Presbyterian Church 110 N. Main Street, Greeneville, TN 37743 with “history book” noted in the memo. For anyone that would like their book shipped to them, please include an extra $7.
