Altama Presbyterian Church, Brunswick, GA
Altama PC in Brunswick, GA, was established in 1969 and celebrated their 40th birthday last year. In the early 1960's, the pastor and session of First PC Brunswick decided that there was a need for another Presbyterian congregation in their community. The organizing members met for the first service on Sunday, February 4, 1968, and the church was chartered on April 15, 1969. The church name was suggested by Howard J. Brown, who pointed out that the word "Altama" not only designated the street name, but was an early name for the Altamaha River, after the Native American Village Of Tam, which was located in the forks of the Ocmulgee and Oconee Rivers. The Indians on the coast traveling to this village went by way of this river, which became known as Al-Tama, meaning "the way to Tama.” Brown said that hopefully we would be on our way to heaven by way of Altama.
Today, Altama PC exists to proclaim and grow in the Word of God by being a loving church and providing meaningful worship and fellowship for all, in the presence of the Holy Trinity. Altama PC operates a pre-school, and annually in the fall holds a Church Bazaar where you can find anything from books to plants to baked goods, and is a very popular event in the community.
They are currently served by their pastor of thirteen years, the Reverend Bert Cramer, along with Brad Whiddon, Music Director, and Carolyn Rowland, Church Administrator. You can contact the church by email or by phone at 912-264-8096, or you can visit their website.
