Church’s Sanctuary

Since its founding in 1848, the First Presbyterian Church of Atlanta has successively housed two sanctuaries on Marietta Street, according to the church's website.

After some time, First Presbyterian Church of Atlanta claimed, it relocated to a "far out" location close to 16th and Peachtree.

In 1919, it was claimed, the entire sanctuary was dedicated.

According to the church, the architect recommended several sizable windows "for light and ventilation."

The church claims that Dr. Lyons, the pastor, created a strategy and ideas for the installation of stained glass windows.

The 1- windows that surround the floor of the sanctuary, according to the church, depict events in the Bible, from Abraham to the apostles' attempts to propagate Christianity following Christ's death and resurrection.

The church claims that Tiffany made the first six windows, while D'Ascenzo made the latter four.

There are a total of twenty windows spread across four places. There are four D'Ascenzo windows, seven Tiffany windows, and nine Willet windows, it continued.

The chapel is lined with twelve enormous windows. Ten windows, five on each side, encircle the sanctuary's floor, according to the church.

Church’s Structure

First Presbyterian Church of Atlanta claims that the frames of each window are actually fairly intricate.

As a "trefoil" or tripartite schema, the church described the primary picture as being made up of three windows (or panes).

Eight tall, thin panes that appear to be identical in all 10 windows but are distinct surround the trefoil. The church claims that people now call these windows the Octet or the Mansions.

According to the church, three smaller windows known as the Triplet are located beneath the trefoil. Each window in the Triplet is connected to the one before it via a primary element that could be found in the center window.

Larger and stained-glass windows that are both lighted from the outside can be found on one side of the church. The church claims that mosaics have been utilized to fill up the spaces on the opposite side.

Meanwhile, the first sermon in a three-part series on "The Character of the Cross" from First Presbyterian Church of Atlanta was also open to everyone.

The church said the sermon series started every morning.

According to the church, Rev. Dr. Tony Sundermeier preached on Sunday under the subject "Cruciform Community." The church expressed excitement over meeting the participants.
