2015-08-10 - Updated through online information from T. Bradford Willis, DDS. -- The church has received an Official Texas Historical Marker: Zion United Church of Christ - First mission congregation of the Evangelical Church in Texas. Initial services were held for German-speaking people of Waco by the Rev. Friederich Werning (1843-1931) in the Presbyterian Church. <br> Frame structure built on this site in 1882 was replaced in 1914 (for $10,000) by present church. Use of German ceased in 1931 when members were using English in homes. The denominational affiliation of congregation has been determined by mergers in which Evangelical and Reformed Church and, later, the United Church of Christ were created. There were articles about the organ in the Waco Times-Herald on Sunday, Aug. 1, 1926, and in the Waco News-Tribune on Saturday, July 31, 1926. They mention the name of the organ builder, the price, and the dedicatory recital by Professor Fred E. Eggert. -Database Manager
