In 1853, the Methodists, Episcopalians and Presbyterians built the Union church in Old Town Brazoria. A land grant was given to these three churches in 1878 by heirs of Emily M. Perry, sister of Stephen F. Austin. The three denominations worshiped together in the Union church until it was destroyed by the 1900 storm. After the storm the Presbyterians met in the vaccanted Brazoria County Courthouse.

In the fall of 1913, an eight day meeting led by Rev. J. C. Johnson, an evangelist for Brazos Presbytery, resulted in the reorganization of the First Presbyterian Church of Brazoria in the "new town" then under construction nearer the tracks of the Brownsville Railroad. There were eleven charter members: Dr. E. S. Weisiger, Mr. and Mrs. W. E. Hodgson, Mrs. J. G. Smith, Mrs. E. Shelby Smith, Mr. and Mrs. R. M. Bennett, Mrs. Annie Rodgers, Mrs. Julia Black, Mrs. W. J. Badge and Mrs. Annie Lee Seiker.

For the first few years services were held in a room over Smith's Store. The new church was completed in 1916 under the supervision of the Rev. Johnson.

The First Presbyterian Church of Brazoria was the only church in Brazoria to survive the violent storm of 1932. the church was used by the entire community until other churches were built.

An 1846 edition pulpit bible was presented to the church October 14, 1931, by Mary E. Mayo of Houston's First Presbyterian church.

Supporters and leaders of the church in past years who still have relatives in Brazoria include: G. E. Badge, W. H. Brigance, L. J. McNeill, Sr. & Jr., H. P. Hopins, E. B. Hopkins, Richard Parker, Sr. and J. S. Montgomery.

According to church records, Cylde Rogers Forest had the longest church membership, joining the church in May, 1921. Dixie Vollbaum was a Sunday School teacher for several years before becoming a member in October, 1923. Dorothy Hopkins Stanger joined the church in November, 1923.

The Cammacks, who are descendants of the Perry family, are still members of our church. Cylde Rogers Forest was also a descendant of two of the charter members, Mrs. Annie Rogers and Mrs. Julia Black.
