We LoveDalton!
A church family in the middle of Dalton, making disciples for the transformation of the world. Whoever you are, wherever you have been — there is a place for you here on Sunday.
You won't have to figure it out alone.
Never been before? Here is exactly what happens on a Sunday morning — what to wear, where to park, what your kids will do, and what nobody will ask you to do.
Park & walk in
We are at 500 S Thornton Ave, right in downtown Dalton. Park in the church lot off Thornton Avenue and come in through the main doors — someone will be there to point you the right way.
Check in your kids
Our nursery takes babies from 8 weeks old. Kids 4 through 5th grade have Sweet Sound at 9:30 and Holy Moments at 11:00 — or they are welcome to stay with you. Both are normal here.
Find a seat, stay for coffee
Sit wherever you like — nobody owns a pew. Afterwards someone would love to meet you, but only if you want to be met.
There's a place here for your whole family.
From Sunday morning to Wednesday night, these are the ways our church shows up for each other and for Dalton.
Children
Sweet Sound at 9:30 and Holy Moments Children's Church at 11:00 — worship built for kids, not a watered-down version of the grown-up service.

Life is better together. When you have people you can do life with, celebrations get better and you have a team to pray for you when you are down.

Here at Dalton First, we put Dalton first by reaching out into the community — and partner beyond it to extend the footprint of our calling.

Since the 1840s this church has stood at the heart of Dalton, growing alongside the city and staying rooted in the unchanging love of Christ. Open hearts, open minds, open doors is not a slogan to us — it is how we intend to be found. Here is what we are asking God for over the next three years.
Our three-year vision
Tell us what you're carrying.
Our prayer team meets every week to pray over requests submitted by people like you. You choose whether it stays with the prayer team or goes to the whole congregation.
“Carry each other's burdens, and in this way you will fulfill the law of Christ.”
Galatians 6:2
Can't make it in person?
Worship live Sunday mornings, or catch up on any sermon during the week. You're more than a view count to us.
