Moultrie First Presbyterian Church

Our Beginnings

On October 3, 1892, sixteen Presbyterians met in the local Baptist Church building for the purpose of organizing a Presbyterian Church in Moultrie. Now, some 119 years later, our church continues to grow in faith and love and to hold a prominent place as a Christian community in Southwest Georgia.

Faye Brock, Church Hostess

Faye has lived in Moultrie most of her life. She graduated from Moultrie High School and received a Masters of Education from Valdosta State College. She taught school in the Colquitt County School system for 30 years. After retiring she taught half days at Cox Elementary School for 7 years.

Faye is married to Brady Brock, retired school administrator. They have two sons, Matthew and Jason.

Faye believes that God allowed her to get the job at First Presbyterian Church because she feels that she has found a place where she can use God's gifts to her. She says that this is not a job, but a pleasure, because of the love and warmth from the staff and the congregation. Her responsibilities here are to plan the WATCH menus, oversee the preparation of the meals, and supervise the kitchen staff, nursery staff, and the housekeeping staff.
