Presbyterians
in Beeville began meeting together informally as early as 1885. In 1890-91 the
Rev. Henry Runner Laird (1842-1925) was sent to officially organize a
congregation in Beeville, and this church was begun with twenty-six charter
members. A sanctuary was built on the corner of Walton and North St. Mary’s
Streets in 1892, and much surrounding property was acquired by the church in
succeeding years. In 1968 the congregation merged with the Ebenezer
Presbyterian Church to form the First Presbyterian Church of Beeville.
