150th Anniversary Plate

Church members Babs Jacobs, Clyde Bush and Brandon Gilliam collaborated to create a plate commemorating our 150th Anniversary.

The front of the plate features line drawings of the three buildings our church has owned. The back of the plate reads:

The First Presbyterian Church of Waco, Texas was organized in May 1855. The first building was erected in 1870 at 2nd Street and Jackson Street. The second building was erected in 1883 between 8th Street and 9th Street on Austin Avenue. The present building on 11th and Austin was erected in 1912.

Pastors serving:
Dr. Samuel A. King 1863 -1903
Dr. Charles T. Caldwell 1903 - 1937
Dr. T. B. Hay 1937 - 1942
Dr. Thomas Gallaher 1942 - 1956

Plates cost $10 each, and are available in the church office.
