Our church was very fortunate to have an extensive collection of historical records saved for many years by Hubert & Bobbi Smith.  Several years ago a group came together to sort through and organize what was available and make presentations of their interesting findings to the members of the church by using bulletin boards in the Fellowship Hall and messages in the monthly newsletter.

 

We are inspired and blessed by how God has encouraged our faithful leaders and believers throughout the years. The church celebrated its125th Anniversary in November of 2019.  This same group of people got together and published a book on the true history of the First Presbyterian Church of McAlester.  By researching newsletters, many years of session meeting minutes, previous anniversary celebrations as well as information from groups outside of the church, they were able to publish this book of the history to date.  It has been a rewarding experience and one which will contribute to the growth of this church and its members.  For more information, contact the church office.
