Our History
Lake Oconee Presbyterian Church (LOPC) began in 1996 with six families holding small group meetings. Over the next few years, the numbers grew and the venues changed to meet the increase in attendance. Construction of our current location was completed in 2003.
Over the years, the Lake Oconee area has seen a surge in population as more people have discovered the natural beauty, relaxed lifestyle, and convenience to Atlanta, Athens, and Augusta. With so much change, LOPC has remained committed to teaching the Scriptures, proclaiming the Gospel, and loving our neighbors.
