About That Name...

Thyatira, pronounced here as “thigh-uh-tie-ruh,” was a city in what is modern day Turkey, and the site of one of the churches of the New Testament era. It is referenced most notably in the book of Revelation, but it also makes appearance in the book of Acts.

No one is entirely sure why the earliest settlers to western Rowan County decided to invoke Thyatira for their new church, but we like to believe it is because it exhibited the virtues mentioned about the first century Thyatira church, which was known for its works of “love, faith, service, and patient endurance.”

We hope you find those characteristics still very much in abundance as you visit us.
