Who we are
Greetings and welcome to Calhoun First Presbyterian Church Calhoun
If you visit us, what will you discover about us? You will quickly know how delighted we are to have you among us, how “come as your are” we are, how “non-institutional” we are, how focused we are on the mission God has defined for us to pursue, how grace-filled a community we are, and how compassion-minded we are toward those who are down and out.
We believe that we have been called to live out the theme—“Loving All to Christ!” That mandate requires a lot from us..
Basically, we are a community of faith who see that Christ has called us together to represent Him, His love, and His ways in the world–the world around us and the world beyond us. Our motive for doing al of that? “Love” Christ has called us to act out His love for others and each other.
After some years decline we have found our way into a new experience of life together that we can only characterize as a grand new future in Christ. It’s an exciting journey as we continue to discover more and more of who we are in Christ and all the new life He has called us into.
We would love for you to come along side us and become our new friends in faith and partners in healing the hurts in the world. We are a little like a new church and you might find it easier to find your place in this kind of fluid, open, wanting-to-grow situation instead of a congregation more settled into itself.
One of the new things we are working on is emphasizing the home as the primary place of faith formation. It’s where kids spend most all their time in their younger formative years. Even as they grow into their teen years, their homes can have great influence on them. So, we are serious about equipping families to become “faith facilitators” to each other, particularly the parents to each other and to their children.
We are developing a cohesive and tightly-connected progression from baptism through confirmation, and beyond for developing a stronger sense of relationship with Christ and His church during the growing up years.
Another thing we are passionate about? Making a difference in your life. We feel that Christ has blessed us to be a blessing to others.l It will make our day to be a blessing to you! And, for you to be a blessing to us!
You are invited to contact us about any way in which we can help you in your walk with Christ–706-629-4304
Come on site and check us out. I’m available to visit with you about our church ([email protected]; 770-530-9081)
In the meantime, may Christ bless you and yours real good!
David McDonald

Leader Bio:
David has served seven other congregations prior to Calhoun, including as head of staff for the largest Presbyterian church in the nation, and as Senior Pastor and
Head of Staff for two churches that numbered 1000 members each. He loves the church, the ministry, and the people with whom God has given him the
privilege to work and grow.
David sees himself as a pastor/leader, understanding that a pastor who yearns for his church and his people to grow and thrive will need to be an influential
reality in their lives. He is intensely interested in people more and more making Christ the point of their religion and becoming more like Him the essence of
their lives. Ultimately, he sees himself as placed by Christ to “walk with His people in their faith and life journeys so that they can all learn together what it
means to be a Christian.”
Our pastor brings energy, genuineness, and his natural humor to his worship leadership and preaching, and a friendly demeanor to his actions and interactions.
David and his wife, Frances, are the parents of three children and grandparents to seven grandchildren. Oh, by the way, David considers his greatest asset in
ministry, other than the Holy Spirit, to be Frances. “What a minister’s spouse has to go through in support of his or her spouse’s ministry is impossible to
understand, unless you have done it. She has done it so well for so many years!”

Calhoun First Presbyterian Church History
You are...
You are the shade in the heat, You are shelter in the cold, You are eyes to the blind, You are a staff to the pilgrim, You are an island in the sea, You are a stronghold upon land, You are healing to the sick. You are the luck of every joy, You are the light of the sun's beam, You are the door of lordly welcome, You are the pole star of guidance, You are the step of the roe of the height, You are the step of the white-faced mare, You are the grace of the swimming swan, You are the jewel in each mystery.
