Oakland Presbyterian Church (USA)

Established 1911–present.

History

About 1908 a split in the Presbytery of the Cumberland Presbyterian Churches and dissenting groups withdrew from the Cumberland denomination and established the Presbyterian Churches USA. Two acres of land were purchased from William Harris, and in 1909-10 the white frame church was built.

The first preaching service was held on the first Sunday in November 1910. Rev. George White conducted the service. November 26, 1910, Rev. J.H. Wallen conducted the first communion service. The church building was dedicated July 16, 1911. Rev. Calvin A. Duncan conducted the dedicatory service and the Rev. F.F. Schell offered the dedicatory prayer.

The manse was erected on the church grounds in 1914. Rev. and Mrs. William Forsyth were the first occupants. In August 1942 the house and lawn were sold to Mr. and Mrs. John W. Squibb.
