Euphronia Presbyterian Church, Sanford, North Carolina with a rainbow captured by R Kevin Dean

Welcome to Euphronia!

Let's begin with this unusual name.

 

What does is mean? 

     While there is a shrub named Euphronia, this site derives its name from a little rural church down a dirt country road in central, North Carolina.  Services have been held by this congregation for over 200 years.  The original founding fathers chose the name Euphronia for its Greek definition meaning "of a good mind."

How is it pronounced? 

       U-fro-nia
