What Travellers Say
Reviews Summary
Visitors praise First Presbyterian Church Marietta for its welcoming and diverse congregation, active community outreach, and the kindness of its members, particularly noting their impactful food drives. Some find the services engaging and relevant. A minor point of contention for one reviewer was the lack of real wine at communion.
"I recently made a friend who is housing and food insecure. Their outreach services (drive through food pickup) I think is going to be helpful for this family to get back on their feet."
Hunter Sainsbury
"Lots of incredible active members and ways to give back to the community via plethora groups organized via the church. Very open, diverse,welcoming bunch and not what many would maybe expect ...so new folks of any all backgrounds will be welcome. Joe is great, relevant and also rather entertaining for Sunday service. They don't serve real wine at communion so I'm deducting one star."
Jeremy Davenport
"They are helpful and supportive. They ask if you require prayer and provide the necessary paper to write your request. Will go back."
