OUR HISTORY

On January 29, 1984, an unnamed Presbyterian USA congregation met in historic Due West Community Center to hold its first worship service. Within nine months, the fledgling church had outgrown the community center and moved across the street to the Due West Elementary School. The school provided enough space for the congregation to start its very first church school program, and everyone from infants to adults enjoyed participating in the learning, worship, and fellowship.

In April, 1985, a ground-breaking celebration marked the start of the first church building. Four months later, the congregation chose the name "Kirkwood," which means "church in the woods."

On January 26, 1986, the congregation moved to its first church building on Acworth-Due West Road. Kirkwood was constituted as a congregation in the Presbyterian U.S.A. on September 28, 1986.

Now in our second decade, our membership we have added a new 6,000 square foot building to bring our total space to 10,000 square feet.
