2017-02-26 - Updated by T. Bradford Willis, DDS, naming this as the source of information: History of the church windows of NorthPark Presbyterian Church. <br>A brief history of the NorthPark Presbyterian Church was found on the back of a booklet about its historic stained-glass windows. The congregation dates back to the 1850s. <br>"In 1867, the First Cumberland Presbyterian Church was organized. The wooden church erected in 1868 was the first Presbyterian Church and the second house of worship built in Dallas. In 1906, the church relocated and changed its name to Central Presbyterian Church. In 1915, construction began at Patterson and Akard Streets for what would be the church's third different building. In 1917, The City Temple of the Central Presbyterian Church was dedicated. Soon the congregation shortened its name to City Temple. The fourth building at Park Lane and North Central Expressway was built in 1962. With its new location, the church changed its name to NorthPark United Presbyterian Church, and following denominational reunion in 1983, to simply NorthPark Presbyterian Church. Ground was broken for the current facility in December 1989. The congregation began worshiping in this building in May 1991." -Database Manager
