Marker Text:
This congregation grew from early brush arbor meetings and a Union Sunday School begun in 1895. The Presbyterians were one of the first denominations to break away from the Union Church to form their own congregation. By 1897, the fellowship had built a sanctuary. The First Presbyterian Church of Crowley was served for many years by circuit ministers. One of their earliest pastors was the Rev. L. C. Collier, who also served as president of the nearby Red Oak Academy. Throughout its history, the congregation has provided significant community service and leadership. (1985)
