Third Presbyterian Church, Birmingham

The Third Presbyterian Church of Birmingham is a Presbyterian church located on the city's Southside at 617 22nd Street South. It is a member congregation of the Presbyterian Church in America. Third Presbyterian was organized on July 11, 1884. The church was an outgrowth of a “Sabbath” school established by First Presbyterian Church.

The church began with 31 charter members and was served by four supply pastors between 1884 and 1888. By 1889, Third had grown to over 500 members, commissioning over 50 of its own to begin churches in the nearby communities of Woodlawn, Leeds, and South Highlands. That same year, on August 4, the church installed its first permanent pastor, James Alexander Bryan, who had been a visiting pastor at Third while a seminary student at Princeton University.
