About Us
First and foremost, we are Christian. We express our Christianity as Presbyterians, a type of Reformed Protestant. Specifically, we are part of the Presbyterian Church (USA), the largest Presbyterian denomination in the US.
​
Central to Reformed theology is the affirmation of the sovereignty of God, the authority of scripture, and salvation by grace through faith alone. Our salvation through Jesus's death and resurrection is God's generous gift to us, and it is everyone's job to share this Good News.
​
As Presbyterians, we have a representative form of church government in which the authority to make decisions lies in groups made up of ministers and elected (ordained) members of the congregation known as ruling elders. We believe that God calls both men and women to these important positions of leadership within the church.

Our History
The First Presbyterian Church of Huntsville, Texas, has a very long and colorful history dating back to 1848. This history has been researched and recorded in a publication by Dr. Ronald D. Johnson.
​
A great debt of thanks is owed to Ron Johnson. Journeys to far off places; untold hours of research, study and writing, have all gone into this volume of work. Collecting and organizing the data for writing this history were certainly made easier by the efforts of those who had written historical sketches previously and other volumes of historical information. Mr. Jack Embrey, Dr. H.F. Estill, Col. A. T. McKinney, Col. William J. Blythe, Sr. and Mr. Norman Peerce have all made historical contributions in the past that Ron was able to use in the preparation of this book.
