     In November 1888 seventeen charter members joined with the Rev. J. C. Grow (1841-1903) to organize the First Presbyterian Church of Commerce. The congregation met in the town's Union Church until their own wooden frame sanctuary was completed in 1893. The Rev. Elijah B. Fincher became the church's first full-time resident pastor in 1897. A new brick sanctuary was completed on the corner of Monroe and Caddo streets in 1913, and additional structures have been built over the years. This church has been part of the city's history for over a century.
