Fort Gaines Presbyterian Church was organized in 1847 and its history is
recorded in the history of Flint River Presbytery thusly; "Besides the
liberal contribution of the churches, the Presbytery received a liberal behest
from a Mr. Homer Alexander, residing near Ft. Gaines, Early County of rents,
issues and profits of a valuable plantation to be applied to the support of
Domestic Missions of the Presbytery."
The first church was built in 1847 on the corner of
West Jefferson and Jackson Street (J. W. Grimsley bought the old church building
and used it in construction of his home). The present church building was
constructed in 1910. The Susie McAllister-Hall was added to provide Sunday
School class rooms. Rev. A. R. Liddell was the first resident pastor.
