A Little History
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. Won't
you join us?

| Responding
to God's grace and building upon the strength of our Reformed
tradition, we, the members of First Presbyterian Church, seek
to: |
- Proclaim
joyfully the Good News, revealed in the life, death and
resurrection of Jesus Christ
- Live
as a welcoming and nurturing community of faith through
worship, prayer, study and fellowship; and
- Serve
others - at home and beyond our community - with love,
compassion, respect, justice and mercy, in the name of
Jesus Christ and after His example.
May
God empower us by the Holy Spirit to
fulfill our call to be God's people.
