History of First United Presbyterian Church - Fayetteville (continued)

In joy and prayer, the congregation broke ground on Nov. 20, 1960, and moved to the beautiful hilltop in July 1961. The church campus on "Presbyterian Hill" included a fellowship hall, an office building, and two education buildings. The church worshiped in the Fellowship Hall until 1970 when the present sanctuary was completed. In 1995, the sanctuary configuration underwent renovations by adding a dais, changing the carpet from gold to red, and adding several ranks of exposed pipes to the organ.

A study of present and future programming needs led to a groundbreaking ceremony in October 2000 that began an ambitious expansion and renovation effort. This project added 14,930 square feet to the church, bringing the total footage to 42,825 square feet.
