Chartered on Oct. 12, 1851, as a Cumberland society, this was the first Presbyterian congregation in Sherman. The Rev. W. A. Provine was founder and first pastor. One of 4 denominations meeting in the Union church house, 1853-67, this fellowship also worshiped in the Methodist church before members constructed their own building in 1871 at S. Travis and Cherry Street. In 1896 they built an English Gothic edifice at the site. Renamed Central Presbyterian in 1921, this congregation became Trinity United Presbyterian before moving to this location in 1964. (1976)
