The First Presbyterian Church of Prattville was organized with 13 members in 1846 with W.H. Mitchell as founding minister. The Greek revival style church on Bridge Street was the first place of worship for this congregation. During the tenure of Pastor James K. Hazen (1861-77) who married Mary Tichnor, niece of town founder Daniel Pratt, Poet Sidney Lanier served as our church organist. The original building on Bridge Street is now located on Sixth Street, the property of First Missionary Baptist Church.

The second structure, a Victorian style building, burned in January 1941 just after the start of WWII. Much community support was given to this congregation while the nation was engaged in WWII when money and supplies were scarce, to enable the first services in our present building to be held in October of that same year.

19 Ministers have served this congregation over the past 160 years.
