First Presbyterian Church of McAllen

This church began with McAllen's first Presbyterian worship service, held by the Rev. M.W. Doggett in a local lumberyard in 1908. Dr. W. A. King and George Pollack were first elders. Although adversely affected by the Mexican Revolution (1909-1919) the church was sustained by its Women's Society, formed in 1909. The first sanctuary, built here in 1910, was a prominent landmark in McAllen's early history. A fellowship hall was added in 1949, an education building in 1953, and a new sanctuary in 1959-60. This congregation continues to serve the community with a variety of programs. Sesquicentennial of Texas Statehood 1845-1995
