Covenant Presbyterian Church of Athens, GA

One of Athen's youngest Presbyterian churches, Covenant was officially established in May 1966 with 33 members. The congregation met in the Gaines Community Center until 1970 at which time it moved to the Presbyterian Student Center on the campus of the University of Georgia. With the assistance of other Presbyterian churches in Athens, long-range plans came into focus. On May 2, 1971, Covenant Church moved into its multi-purpose building on Gaines School Road. In November 1975 the Christian Education Building was completed. The following summer some of Covenant's own members finished the basement into one large and two smaller rooms.
