The First Presbyterian Church holds the distinction of being the first church building constructed in the town of Holden, Missouri. Work on the church began early 1868, marking an important milestone in the community's history. Today, this historic building remains at the corner of 5th and Main Street, serving as a prominent landmark. Its enduring presence is a testament to the early development of Holden and the strong sense of community that has characterized the town since its founding.
Whether you are new to Holden or a lifelong resident seeking a place of worship, you are warmly invited to join the congregation at 9:00 A.M. on Sundays. Pastor Jerry Basye leads the service with a traditional, Bible-based sermon, accompanied by classic hymns. The church extends a heartfelt welcome to all who wish to attend.
