A BRIEF HISTORY
OF THE
FIRST PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH.
The Presbyterian- Church in the city of
Augusta, Georgia, was first organized by
the Rev. Washington McKnight, in A. D.
1804.
Messrs. John Taylor, William Fee and
George Watkins, were ordained elders, and
the sacraments were regularly administered
from that time.
In the course of Providence, Mr. McKnight
was removed by death in September, 1805 ;
after having been the honored instrument of
planting this church, and after having set
before his little flock an example of humble
and uniform piety, which caused his memory
to remain long after his departure to his rest,,
precious in the hearts of a surviving people,
l*

A BRIEF HISTORY OF THE
After his decease, the church remained
destitute of a pastor, until July 3d, 1806,
when a call was presented to Mr. John R.
Thompson, a licentiate from New-York, and
then rector of Richmond Academy, inviting
him to the pastoral charge of the congrega¬
tion. This invitation was accepted by Mr.
Thompson, and he was ordained to the work
of the gospel ministry by the Presbytery of
Hopewell, May 9th, 1807, and immediately
entered upon his pastoral labors in the con¬
gregation.
At the same time the following persons
were elected elders, and set apart by the
pastor to that office:—Oswell Eve, Thomas.
Cumming and Augustus Moore.
The following are the names of the mem¬
bers connected with this church, and who
were in regular standing at the decease of
Rev. Mr. McKnight:—

Making in all twenty-seven members at
the commencement of Rev. Mr. Thompson's
ministry.
The congregation at this time worshipped
in the building belonging to the corporation
of the Richmond Academy, and known as
"St. Paul's Church," which stood upon the
site now occupied by the church edifice,
owned by the Episcopal congregation in this
city ; known also by the name of " St. Paul's."
From the rents of pews in that building, funds
were raised for the salary of the minister-,
and the other current expenses of the church.
At the expiration of the year ending May
1809, the Board of Trustees of Richmond Aca¬
demy declined renting "St. Paul's Church" to
the Session .of the Presbyterian Church,.for
the special use of the congregation, on the
plea that it ought not to be given up to the
control of any one particular denomination;
but should be free to all. By this act, the
congregation which had for a longtime wor¬
shipped God, and maintained the ordinances

-of religion in this building with regularity
and profit, were virtually excluded from their
customary place of worship, and scattered
abroad. Measures were immediately taken
for the erection of a Presbyterian Church,
and the following extract from the records of
the session for that year (1809), shows the
spirit and zeal which dictated the enterprise.
Under this privation," referring to the refu¬
sal of the board of trustees above referred to,
"the session feel animated, in common with
the members of the congregation, in witness¬
ing the active zeal which pervades the com¬
munity, and the friends of religion in particu¬
lar, in the laudable work of preparing a new
Presbyterian Church, within which we an¬
ticipate with pleasure, in reliance upon the
Providence of God, to see a re-union of the
scattered flock, offering up their prayers and
praises where there will be 'none to make
them afraid.'"
Measures had been taken two years pre¬
vious to this, for obtaining subscribers to a
new Presbyterian Church, and application
had been made to the Legislature of Georgia
8
A BRIEF HISTORY OF THE
for an act of incorporation for seven indivi¬
duals therein named, to constitute, with their
successors, the "Trustees of Christ Church in
the City of Augusta."* This application
was granted, and in December, 1808, the
legislature passed " an act authorising and
requiring the conveyance of a lot on the com¬
mon of Augusta, to certain trustees and their
successors, for the purpose of building a new
church, and to incorporate the trustees of
said church." This act is signed by Benja¬
min Whitaker, Speaker of the House of
Representatives, and Henry Mitchell, Presi¬
dent of the Senate, and approved 16th De¬
cember, 1808, by Jared Irwin, Governor.
The following are the persons named as
trustees, and who constituted the first board
of trustees of this church:—John Taylor,
James Pearre, John Wilson (the elder), Tho¬
mas Cumming, Jno. Campbell, Jno. B. Barnes,
and William White.
After the act of incorporation was obtain-

legislature, in 1836, to " The First Presbyterian Church in
Augusta."

ed, a meeting of the subscribers to the new
church was held in Augusta, on Tuesday,,
May 23d, 1809, at which the trustees report¬
ed the proceedings of the legislature in the
ac't of incorporation, and that they had ob¬
tained the title deeds of the lot selected as
the site of the intended edifice. Whereupon
resolutions were passed, declaring that, in the
opinion of the meeting, preparations for build¬
ing the church ought to be commenced with¬
out delay; and making provision for the is¬
suing of stock to a sufficient amount to de¬
fray the expense of its erection. One of the
resolutions adopted at this meeting, with its
preamble, is as follows :—
" And whereas, it is truly desirable, and,
indeed, essential to the prosperity and well-
being of every congregation of worshippers,
that the public services and ordinances of
religion should be performed 'decently and
in order,' and thus be exempted from those
contentions and changes attending places of
worship, whidfc, under the nominal plan of
being free and open to all, are, by experi-
10
a brief history of the
ence, found to be really useful to none ;—
therefore,
'•'Resolved, That to avoid all causes of dis¬
cord or doubt on this point, so important to
good order and harmony among the mem¬
bers of every congregation : We do hereby
agree, make known, and proclaim, that the
subscribers hereto do consider themselves as
associated in a congregation of The Presby¬
terian Church."
At this meeting the following persons were
elected a building committee, and the plan,
size, and materials of the intended church
were submitted to them in connection with
the board of trustees :—John Murray, David
Reid, Robert Cresswell, Oswell Eve, and Fer¬
dinand Phinizy.
The work of obtaining subscriptions to the
church stock was prosecuted with great ener¬
gy, and in a very short time a sufficient
amount was obtained to warrant the com¬
mencement of its erection. The plan of the
building was furnished by Robert Mills,
of Philadelphia, and, with a few slight modi-
first presbyterian church.
11
fications, was adopted by the building com¬
mittee and board of trustees. The edifice, as
erected, is about one hundred by seventy feet
in size, and will seat a congregation of eleven
hundred persons.
The corner stone was laid July 4th, 1809,
by John Murray, M.D., chairman of the build¬
ing committee, in the presence of the board
of trustees and subscribers, the Intendant and
members of the City Council, trustees of Rich¬
mond Academy, officers and soldiers of the
county militia, and a large assemblage of the
citizens generally.
The building vims completed, and solemnly
dedicated to the public worship of God on
Sunday, May 17th, 1812. The following ac¬
count of the exercises of the occasion is taken
from one of the public journals of the city:—
" On Sunday last, the newly erected Pres¬
byterian Church in this place was solemnly
dedicated to the service of the Most High.
An impressive dedication sermon was preach¬
ed by the Rev. Mr. Thompson, the pastor,
from the words of David in the 84th Psalm,
" How amiable are thy tabernacles, O Lord
■2
12
A BRIEF HISTORY OF THE
of Hosts." About seven hundred persons at¬
tended this interesting solemnity, and we do
not recollect ever to have seen a congrega¬
tion more seriously attentive to a discourse,
than they were on this occasion, which was
truly calculated to affect every heart and
excite in every bosom the most lively sen¬
sations. In the afternoon an excellent dis-
coufige was delivered by the Rev. Dr. Keith,
of Charleston, S. C., from the words ' Come
unto me, all ye that labor and are heavy
laden, and I will give you rest.'
" And as in the morning a prospective and af¬
fecting view was taken of the future situation
of the church thus dedicated to the Almighty,
and of the thousands who, under the influence
of the Holy Spirit, should be born to God, with¬
in its consecrated walls, and united to the
family of the blessed: so in the afternoon
was affectionately and impressively present¬
ed to view, the sure and certain rest, conso¬
lation, and peace, which all such should ine¬
vitably obtain, however weary and heavy
laden with the burden of their sin they had
previously been. The exercises of the day
FIRST PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH. 13
will no doubt be long and profitably remem¬
bered by many who united in them ; and we
trust and confidently believe that the doc¬
trines which will be urged and enforced
within the Avails of the newly dedicated
building, will be made the means of extend¬
ing the Redeemer's kingdom in this place,
which we hope will increase in piety and
holiness, as it grows in consequence and in¬
creases in population."
The church at the time of its dedication
was without a steeple, and had no pews in
the galleries. In the year 1818, the present
beautiful spire was added, and the galleries
finished with convenient pews.
In December, 1816, the congregation were
deprived of their esteemed pastor, Rev. John
R. Thompson, D.D., whose health had gradu¬
ally declined for some time pre\Tious, and who?
after ten years of faithful and useful labor
among this congregation, and Avhile absent
for the improvement of his health, was called
to enter upon that " rest which remaineth to
the people of God." His memory was long
precious in the hearts of his bereaved and

A BRIEF HISTORY OF THE
affectionate people. During his ministry
seventy-four persons were added to the mem¬
bership of the church.
After the death of Dr. Thompson, the pul¬
pit of the church was supplied by several
different ministers, but continued without a
regular pastor for about four years.
On the 6th of February, 1820, a call' was
presented to the Rev. Wm. Moderwel, which
he accepted, and entered immediately upon
the duties of the pastoral office. Mr. Moder¬
wel was installed by the Presbytery of Hope¬
well, at their regular session in November,
1821.
On the 16th of July, 1826, Rev. Mr. Mo¬
derwel resigned the pastoral charge of the
congregation, which resignation was accept¬
ed, and his connection with them dissolved
by Presbytery in the following August.
During the interval between the death of
Dr. Thompson and the settlement of Mr. Mo¬
derwel, nineteen persons were added to the
membership of the church. During the six
years of his connection with the church nin e
ty-three were added.
FIRST PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH.
15
After the resignation of Mr. Moderwel, the-
pulpit of the church was supplied by Rev. S.
K. Talmage and Rev. S. S. Davis jointly,.for
one year.
In November, 1828, a call was presented
to Rev, S. K. Talmage, to become the pastor
of the church, which he accepted, and was
installed by Hopewell Presbytery on the 28th
of that month.
On the 12th of December, 1835, Rev. Mr.
Talmage resigned the pastoral charge of the
church, in order to become connected with
the " Oglethorpe University," to the presiden¬
cy of which he was afterwards elected, and
in which position he still continues.
During the interval between the resigna¬
tion of Mr. Moderwel and the election of
Mr. Talmage as pastor, ninety-four persons
were added to the membership of the church,
and one hundred and thirteen during the con¬
nection of the latter with the church in the
pastoral office.
In May, 1837, Rev. Alexander N. Cunning¬
ham was invited, by the session, to supply
the pulpit for one year. On the 25th of
2*
16
A BRIEF HISTORY OF THE
£ej?ruary, 1838, he received a call to become
the pastor of the church, which he accepted,
and was installed by Hopewell Presbytery
on the J8th of November, in the same year.
On the 12th of April, 1842, Mr. Cunning¬
ham resigned his pastoral charge.
In the interval between the resignation of
Mr. Talmage and the election of Mr. Cun¬
ningham, fifteen persons were added to the
church, and eighty-one during the continu¬
ance of the latter in the.pastoral relation.
In June, 1842, Mr. Charles S. Dod, licenti¬
ate, was invited by the session to supply the
pulpit. He accepted this invitation, and con¬
tinued to supply until November, 1843, when
he was elected pastor, and ordained and in¬
stalled by Hopewell Presbyter}*, January 14th,
1844.
On the 6th of December, 1846, Rev. Mr. Dod
resigned his pastoral charge.
Sixty-three persons were added to the
church during; the labors of Mr. Dod.
On the 22d^x)f March, 1847, Rev. Ebenezer
P. Rogers was invited by the session to sup¬
ply the pulpit until the 1st of June ; was,
FIRST PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH. lT
elected pastor June 27th, and installed by
Hopewell Presbytery on the third Sunday in
December, 1847.
During the interval between the resigna¬
tion of Mr. Dod and the settlement of the
present pastor,'three persons were added to
the church. From January, 1848, to the pre¬
sent time, the additions have amounted to
seventy-five.
During the summer of 1847, the church
edifice .was thoroughly repaired and improved
by the erection of a new pulpit, and the ad¬
dition of several large'windows, and byre-
painting and re-carpeting. It was opened for
divine service on the 14th of November, 1847,
when a sermon was delivered by the present
pastor, from Genesis 28 : 17—" How dreadful
is this place ! this is none other but the house
of God, and this is the gate of Heaven."
In the year 1834, the building now occu¬
pied as a lecture-room, was devised to the
church by the last will and testament of
Thomas Cumming, Esq., one of the earliest
and most generous friends of the Presbyterian
Church in this city. By this act of charac-
18
A BRIEF HISTORY OF THE
teristic liberality, the present central and
commodious building was ' secured to the
church for the important purposes to which,
for nearly twenty years, it has been devoted.
Few churches are so well provided for in this
respect.
In the year 1847, chiefly through the efforts
of the ladies of the congregation, a house and
lot, in a most desirable location, were pur¬
chased as a parsonage-. A small but valu¬
able library has also been furnished for the
use of the pastor and the members of the
congregation.
The property of the church now consists of
their large and beautiful church lot, with the
church edifice, on Tel'Iair-street; the lecture-
room building, on Mackintosh-street; and the
parsonage, 011 Greene-street. Their entire
property, valued at about $40,000, is entirely
unencumbered.

A BRIEF HISTORY OF THE
This church adopts " the confession of faith,
and form of government and discipline of the
Presbyterian Church in the United States/
as the rule of its faith and practice ; and re¬
quires that all who become members of its
communion, either by profession or certificate,
shall assent thereto.
Every individual who applies for member¬
ship, unless by certificate, is expected to give
satisfactory evidence, on examination by the
pastor and elders, of genuine repentance of
sin, and faith in the Lord Jesus Christ for
salvation.
All applications for admission to church
membership, are made to the session through
any of its members. And it is desirable that
such notice shall be given as early as possi¬
ble before the regular meeting for the ex¬
amination of applicants. All persons who,
upon examination by the session, shall be
admitted to membership, shall make a
public profession of their faith, and enter
into solemn covenant with Almighty God>
in the presence of the congregation, on
the morning of the Sabbath on which the
FIRST PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH. 21
sacrament of the Lord's Supper is adminis¬
tered.
* The following is
THE FORM OF ADMISSION TO THE FIRST
PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH, AUGUSTA.
•The candidates being requested by the pas¬
tor, after sermon, to present themselves in the
aisle, fronting the pulpit, receive the following
address :—
" You have now presented yourselves be.
fore God, in his house,, to take his covenant
upon you, to dedicate yourselves to his ser¬
vice, and to become incorporated with his
visible church. You are about to profess,
that, if you know your hearts, you love God
supremely—that you sincerely repent of the
sins of your past lives, that you rely 011 the
willingness and ability of the Lord Jesus
Christ to save such as come to him, and that
it is your firm resolution, in dependence 011
divine aid, to walk in all the ordinances and
commandments of the Lord. The transaction
before you is solemn in its nature, and will be
followed by eternal cousequences. We trust
22
a brief history of the
that you have seriously considered the nature
of the professions and engagements which
you are now about to make ! God, and arf-
gels, and men, will this day witness them ;—
they will be recorded in heaven, and be pub¬
licly exhibited in your trial on the last day!
Yet these reflections need not overwhelm
you—in the name of Christ you may boldly
approach the God of mercy, who, though
great in majesty and might, graciously con¬
descends to enter into covenant with sinners.
You may venture to commit yourselves to his
care, and trust to his faithfulness for strength
to fulfil your engagements.
" Attend now to the covenant!
" Do you, if your hearts deceive you not,
with humility confess and mourn over the
total depravity of your nature, the past en¬
mity of your hearts to God, the unbelief which
has hitherto led you to reject a Saviour, and
the numerous transgressions of your lives ?
" And do you now, in the presence of God,
angels and men, solemnl}'" take the Lord Jeho¬
vah to be your God and portion—receive the
Lord Jesus Christ in all his offices, and to be
EIRST PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH. 23
your Saviour from sin and death—your pro¬
phet, to instruct you—your priest, to atone
and intercede for you, and your king, to rule
over, protect, and bring you to God : and the
Holy Spirit to be your sdnctifier and guide ?
"Unto this triune God—Father, Son,- and
Holy Spirit—do you now, without reserve,
give yourselves away in an everlasting cove¬
nant—to be his willing servants forever—to
bbserve his commandments and ordinances in
the sanctuary, in the family, and in the closet,
as God shall give you strength ?
" Are these your engagements ?
[Here the ordinance of Baptism is to be administered to those who haye
not been baptized in infancy.].
" We therefore, in consequence of these your
professions and promises, affectionately re¬
ceive you as members of this church: in the
name of Christ we declare you entitled to all
its privileges, and welcome you to fellowship
with us in the blessings of the gospel.
"And now, beloved in the Lord, let it be
impressed on your minds, that you have en¬
tered into a solemn condition from which you
can never be released. Wherever you may
3
24
a brief history of the
be, or however you may act—the vows of this
day will rest upon you—they will follow you
through life—they will follow you to the bar
of God—they will abide on you through eter¬
nity ! Hereafter the eyes of the world will
be on you, and as you conduct yourselves,
religion will be honored or disgraced ! If you
live according to the rules of the gospel, you
will be a credit and a comfort to us:—but if
otherwise, you will be to us a grief of heart—
a stumbling block, and a vexation ! But we
hope better things of you, and things which ac¬
company salvation, though we thus speak as it
is our duty to do. May Jehovah bless you
and keep you—may he lift up the light Of
his countenance upon you, and be merciful
unto you!—may he strengthen you in your
passage through a transitory life ; and after
this warfare is accomplished, may we all be
brought together into that blessed chureh,
where our communion shall be perfect, and
our joy everlasting.—Amen !"

gularly administered on the morning of the
