Knoxville's Church Celebrates 220th Anniversary

First Presbyterian Church, Knoxville's oldest church, celebrated 220 years of history and worship.  The church was founded in downtown Knoxville in 1792 and plays a part in the story of the city's origins.  The church has endured a war at home and urban development but they have preserved their part of Knoxville's history. City leaders and church alumni all joined together in the celebration. Knoxville's pioneer and founder James White donated the land for the church next to his fort.
