The First Presbyterian Church in Valdosta, Georgia is a historic Presbyterian church that was built in 1910. It is located at 313 N. Patterson Street.

It was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1987.[1]

It is the only Classical Revival-style church in Valdosta, and was designed by Atlanta architects James W. Butt (d. 1914) and Marshall F. Morris (d. 1921). The church's front facade, on Patterson Street, has a portico with six Corinthian columns, with dentils and modillions in its cornice and pediment, and decorative terra cotta in the tympanum. It also has two pedimented cross-gabled pavilions with dentils and modillions on its Magnolia Street facade. [2]

Butt & Norris also designed the Thomas P. Arnold House in Palmetto, Georgia, which also is NRHP-listed.[1]
