The United Presbyterian Church built its first church in 1910, and a dedication service was held on October 2, 1910, on the corner of North Park and North 2nd. That original building is no longer standing.
A baptism for 4 people was also held that Sunday.
In March of 1915, the then-current pastor, Rev. Picken, accepted a call to Boise, Idaho, and in September of that year died in a swimming tragedy. Our church was without a “called pastor" until July 7, 1918.
When we were but 9 years old, Rev. Mark T. Warner began ministry at United Presbyterian Church. He remained with us for THIRTY EIGHT YEARS.
Please see pictures of all pastors in Narthex.
