Reid Memorial Presbyterian Church

What Reid Memorial Presbyterian Church does

Reid Memorial Presbyterian Church is a historic Presbyterian congregation located at 2261 Walton Way in the Summerville neighborhood of Augusta, Georgia. Its roots trace to an 1879 community Sunday School on land donated by Robert Alexander Reid; the congregation was formally chartered with 46 members in January 1914 and is affiliated with the Presbyterian Church (U.S.A.). The church delivers a full Sunday worship experience at 10:30 a.m., offered both in-person (with a Hearing Loop accessibility system for hearing-impaired congregants) and via YouTube live stream, supported by Sunday School for all ages. It also operates an early-childhood Mother's Day Out & Preschool program that has served the Augusta area for 50 years, offering 2-, 3-, and 5-day weekly schedules with monthly tuition.

The ministry stack extends well beyond worship into a multi-generational ecosystem. Children's Ministry spans nursery through 5th grade (including Vacation Bible School, Kids Retreat, and the Reid's ROCKstars service program), Youth Ministry covers 6th–12th grade with confirmation, retreats, and mission trips, and Music Ministry comprises four choirs under the direction of Organist/Choirmaster Dr. Wayne Lord (Chancel Choir, Master's Ringers handbell choir, Kirkin' Choir for grades 3–5, and The Young Musicians for grades 1–2). Stephen Ministry provides one-to-one lay pastoral care, and the church runs a Mission Partners Program supporting 17+ local, regional, and international organizations including Heritage Academy, Thornwell, Presbyterian Disaster Assistance, Fisher House, Rise Against Hunger, Ronald McDonald House, Golden Harvest Food Bank, and partners in Jamaica, Guatemala, and Haiti.

Reid Memorial's revenue mechanics combine recurring tithes and offerings (collected in service and via the Realm online giving platform) with subscription tuition from MDO & Preschool. Pricing for the preschool runs $170–$325/month depending on schedule, with non-refundable registration fees equal to one month's tuition, plus ancillary fees ($30 drop-in/late payment, $75 one-time activity, $15 late pickup). Its customer base is geographically concentrated in the Augusta metro area, serving individuals, families, children, and youth through worship, formation, and service; it also has a global broadcast footprint via its YouTube channel. Strategic stewardship is exercised through a Session (governing board of elders) under PC(USA) polity, with a professional staff of approximately 16 including clergy, program directors, music staff, operations, and facilities roles. A capital campaign for campus renovations is currently active.
