Favorite Churches in Paducah area

Four Rivers Church:   This isn't your grannies church. Come in comfortable clothes, grab a cup of coffee, visit with a friendly, eclectic group of worshippers and light a candle while you pray.  Feel free to sketch or paint during service and stop the pastor to ask questions at anytime.   Vintage church with a rock band, visual arts focus and relevant teaching. Meets in a casual environment.  Also known as an emerging church.  Compassion, Acceptance, Truth.  http://www.4rcsplash.com/

Washington Street Baptist Church: "Our mission is to be a people empowered by the Holy Spirit to meet the spiritual, physical, emotional, and mental needs of people regardless of sex, race, or socio-economic status; and thereby leading them to a saving knowledge of Jesus Christ." Gospel, soul, and heart all wrapped into one. Lovely people, powerful soul quenching worship and group prayer at the altar with the pastor. One of the builders who has worked on several of the artist relocation projects attends this church. http://www.washingtonstreetbaptist.org

Broadway United Methodist Church"Dreaming God’s Dream, Here in the Heart of the City since 1832. ". Traditional, more formal, larger church near the lowertown arts district.  Kind enough to host two of our visiting artists last year in their homes and interested in supporting the community. Fascinating history on their website. http://www.bumc-paducah.org

Heartland Worship Center:" influencing people to COME, instructing people to GROW, inspiring people to GO." Large church with a contemporary and traditional service, singles groups, active teen center, children's church and lots of activities.  They also have a facility in downtown  Paducah where they host special events. Sponsored an artist for chalk art training in 2005 and provided tables and chairs for some of our events.  http://www.heartlandworship.com

Grace Episcopal Church:  "For over 150 years, the mission of Grace Episcopal Church, Paducah, has been one of fellowship and ministry. A place where people of diverse experiences can come together in the presence of God with a spirit of unity and common worship. Our doors and arms are open, not just to those who are seeking a place to celebrate their faith, but also to those who are seeking a place to rest and reflect, learn and grow." Beautiful grounds, walking distance from lowertown and kind enough to host the lowertown artists for their monthly meetings.  820 Broadway Street, Paducah, KY 42001
Main Phone: (270) 443-5066.  http://www.gracepaducah.org/

First Presbyterian Church: "Spirited people -- young folks and old, male and female, newcomer and long-term member -- all involved in discipleship and ministry through our worship and study, fellowship and service". Small church with traditional worship located right between lowertown and downtown.  Compassionate to the community and helpful whenever possible.  200 North 7th Street, Paducah, KY 42001, . http://www.members.paducah.com/1stpres

Gospel Mission Worship Center: Larger church with active women's group, children's programs, and teen worship area.  They hosted one of our demonstrations in 2005.  One of the builders who has worked on several of the artist relocation projects attends this church. http://www.gospelmissionworship.com/

Journey Church: small, loving church.  Pastor and his wife are very supportive of the arts as are the members.  They hosted one of our demonstrations in 2005.  They also share their facility with and art studio and custom guitar shop...very cool.  3557 Metropolis Lake Road, West Paducah, KY 42086
