At First Presbyterian Church, Dalton, we have developed a rich tradition of faith since our origins in 1847. We have changed locations several times since that first church opened its doors, and have since found our way home in downtown Dalton. We are a strong family of believers who pride ourselves in our commitment to outreach, fellowship and service. This church is associated with Presbyterian Church (USA), denominational organization based in Louisville, Kentucky. Courtesy: www.firstpresdalton.org/#/about-us/who-we-are
