Elisha W. Green Statue Unveiling & Dedication
Two prominent Presbyterians, A.M. January and Lewis Collins were among a group of about a dozen Maysvillians who donated money to help Rev. Green buy his freedom from slavery prior to the Civil War.
Rev. Green went on to found the Bethel Baptist Church in Maysville and was a noted leader of the Baptist faith and the post Civil War period.
First Presbyterian donated money for the statue project and individual church members donated also.
The memorial is located on the site if the original Bethel Baptist Church which burned in the 1980s.

Two beloved members of our congregation were honored at the annual
Scout Dinner held Tuesday, April 14, at the Cox Building in Maysville.
Jennifer Smith accepted the Community Memorial Award on behalf of her late husband,
Pastor Jim Dougans, who had a long history with the Scouting Program.
Peggy Crum, accompanied by her son, Nicholas, was named the
2026 Distinguished Citizen Honoree.
A large number of guests, including members of the First Presbyterian Church,
were in attendance to support Scouting and to honor our fellow church members.
Evelynn McClanahan's 90th birthday was celebrated with a light lunch and cake on Sunday after church. Evelynn quietly works so diligently to help the choir be organized and spends tireless hours sorting, filing, copying, and filling the music folders for each choir member. Her energy and hard work are a blessing to this congregation.
Remember???
These great pics from January 17, 1994. We had 22 inches snow.
