Welcome to Center Presbyterian
Church. We welcome you to join us in worship at 10 A.M on Sunday mornings and for
Sunday School which begins at 9 A. M. Center is located on Hwy 360 just North of Tellico Plains, Tennessee at the foot of the
beautiful Smokey Mountains. Our Church
was voted Readers’ Choice “BEST PLACE TO WORSHIP” in Monroe County, 2nd
place. Click

Our Church began
as a Sunday School on May 15, 1915. Today we have a
membership of 92
and a multitude of loyal regular attending friends. A complete history of our Church can be found
on our website.
I am sure I am not
the only one that would say, "How did I get HERE?" But Tellico Plains has a way of grabbing you
and settling you down for a bit of Sabbath rest. It is a place to be still and
listen for God's voice in the undisturbed organic beauty of His creation. The
people... The hills... The river... The falls... The places to break bread
together... The back porches... The hospitality... This is what keeps us coming
back for more. Just like the Cherokee
many years ago who claimed it as a peaceful place.
Center
Presbyterian Church is no different. Its
open door policy is one I see that Christ would embrace. "Come to me all
who are weary and carrying heavy burdens..." and "I stand at the door
and knock..." are two texts that stand out to me when thinking of the
church community. It is a place that
understands its idiosyncrasies and embraces its diversity. Center is a church
for those that have been in the area a long time, but also a new home for those
that find their way to Monroe County at different stages in their lives. In
many ways it is a place that provides sacred perspective. It is a place where
young and old share a table together. Hummm... That sounds like the Kingdom of God.
May we
be called such a place as we continue listening to where the Holy Spirit leads
us next... Thanks be to God. Written by Reverend John
B. Rogers during his Ministry at Center Presbyterian Church, 2007.
