Our History
Grace Presbyterian Church traces its roots to the founding of Crystal City in the late 1800s. As the local plate glass industry grew, skilled workers from England and Belgium helped establish a European-style stone church, which opened in 1891 as Grace Episcopal Church. Over the years, the congregation evolved, and under the leadership of Rev. W. O. Davis, Grace Presbyterian Church was officially organized on May 30, 1926, with 41 charter members. Today, Grace continues its legacy of worship, faith, and service to the Crystal City community. For more than a century, our church has been a place where faith and fellowship have shaped generations of families in Crystal City.
