First Presbyterian Church of Mt. Pleasant (FPC MP) has a rich history: Organized in Paris Presbytery by Rev. Wiliam Waldo Brimm on Aug. 14, 1881 as a mission of the First Presbyterian Church of Green Hill, Texas (established in 1860). FPC MP Church grew rapidly in 1900s. The frame structure was moved to another location and replaced by a Brick Building in 1923. Continued expansion led to the need for an educational facility built in 1955. Membership reached its peak with 304 members at the end of a seven-year pastorate of David Davies in June 1969.

Interestingly, for the first ninety-two years of the congregation’s history, all elected officers had been men. This changed on December 2, 1973, when Mrs. Margaret Spann and Mrs. Mildred Summers were elected to serve as Deacons.

The welcome statement on the bulletin cover in 1979, the 98th year anniversary of this congregation, read: “To all who are weary and need rest; to all who are lonely and want friendship; to all who mourn and look for comfort; to all who are lost and need a way; to all who sin and need a Savior; to whosoever will come to Jesus Christ, receiving His love and forgiving grace, and desiring to live for Him a new life, this congregation opens wide its doors and bids you welcome.” 

Today, the congregation continues its faithfulness to Christ's ministry and bids you welcome.

August 2031 will mark 150 years of Ministry.
