For a map image of the church location, use a web browser to navigate to the POV Churches page and click on the map image, then choose the name of the church from the list.

As a courtesy, the Presbytery attempts to provide driving directions and parking information (when known) to all the members attending the Assembly.

Due to the size of the presbytery, we are unable to include all possible routes to the meeting. The directions we provide begin with major routes into the city/town where the assembly will be held, and include more detailed directions regarding the streets closer to the meeting site. Please use an online source or printed map to find the way from your starting point to the place where these directions begin. The POV website has all church locations marked on Google Maps to assist you.

Occasionally, there may be construction or detours that we are unaware of. To be prepared for this possibility, it is wise to have a map, Google map printout, or GPS navigation available, just in case.

First Presbyterian Church is located in downtown Bloomington, Indiana, on Lincoln Street, between Sixth and Seventh, northwest of the Monroe County Public Library, two blocks northeast of the Monroe County Courthouse. Limited parking is available in the church parking lots on the north side of the church, accessible from Seventh Street. First Presbyterian is planning to have church members directing parking. The driveway leading in is between the lot directly behind the church and the new lot (see included maps-old driveways still appear on Google maps). Please be aware there is a bike lane on 7th Street, separated by a concrete divider. Metered street parking is available. Additional parking is also available in a municipal lot at the corner of Sixth and Lincoln (Please note: several of those spaces are permanently reserved for the library).

The parking garage at the corner of Fourth and Walnut is also available for the public. Please see the Downtown Parking map, or visit the Bloomington Parking Services webpage for complete parking information.

From the North:

• Take I-69 South to exit 123 for Walnut St. North.
• Cross the State Road 45/46 intersection (you will now be on College Avenue).
• Continue down College to 6th Street and turn left (east).
• The church will be on the left, at the corner of 6th and Lincoln St.

From the East:

• Take State Road 46 West. State Road 46 turns into Third Street.
• Turn right (north) onto Lincoln Street.
• The church is on the left, in between 6th and 7th Streets.

From the Northwest:

• Take State Road 46 East.
• Turn right (south) onto College Avenue.
• Continue down College to 6th Street and turn left (east).
• The church will be on the left, at the corner of 6th and Lincoln St.

From the South and Southwest:

Whether you are coming up SR 45, SR 37, or I-69 all the way, these all merge together at I-69 Exit 117 (SR 45/Bloomfield Road).

From that point:
• State Road 45 becomes Bloomfield Road.
• When you cross S Adams Street, Bloomfield Road will become Second Street.
• Turn left (north) onto Walnut Street.
• Turn right (east) onto Sixth Street.
• The church will be on the left, at the corner of 6th and Lincoln St.

2022 PRESBYTERY PRAYER PARTNERS

The Presbytery of Ohio Valley encourages all our congregations to pray for each other over a two-year span. Sharing prayers with each other works! Here's how you can help:

By the tenth of the month preceding the month for your church, please send a paragraph or two telling a little about your church or organization — size and activities, location and neighborhood, special programs, history, and anything else that would help others in the presbytery get a better sense of who and where you are.

Also send us any joys you'd like to share or prayer requests for your church activities or programs. If your church is in a parish, we'd also appreciate information on the benefits you feel parish membership has brought to the parish churches.

Email your information to office@presbyteryov.org Call 866-344-7853 for more information.
