Central Presbyterian Church issued the following announcement on Jan. 14.

With cleanup and recovery done, First Presbyterian Church of Mayfield begins to think about its mission and rebuilding

One month to the day after a tornado destroyed First Presbyterian Church of Mayfield’s church building, its session voted to recommend to the congregation that the church rebuild on the same site.

That decision is not final as “we feel like the whole congregation needs to be involved in that,” session member Danny Upton said. So the question will be considered during an upcoming congregational meeting. But over the month since the church’s 106-year-old building was all but leveled by a historic tornado, members have completed the process of recovering items that could be salvaged and clearing the site.
