First Presbyterian Church

Presbyterians first worshipped in Marianna, Florida in 1835. First Presbyterian Church in Marianna was established by nine women and one man, Bryan Erwin, the first ruling elder, who came to Jackson County from Scotland Neque, North Carolina. The first structure was a wood framed sanctuary built in 1840 one block north of this location on the southeast corner of Jefferson and Broad Streets. A second structure was built on this site in 1898 and was later dismantled to make way for the grey brick sanctuary built in 1923. An educational building was added in 1950. The church's history from 1835 to 1985 reflects 150 years of faithful service and rich heritage.
