	Our Presbyterian Heritage
	The History of Fain Church
	A Place to Serve

Presbyterians are members of the larger family of Jesus Christ.  We trace our theological roots to the Protestant Reformation and specifically to Jon Calvin.  Calvin�s thoughts have been very influential upon Presbyterian theologizing ever since the sixteenth century. John Knox carried Calvin�s ideas to Scotland.  From Scotland and Ireland the Presbyterian heritage was brought to America, where it was enriched by strains of that heritage from around the world.

The History of Fain Presbyterian Church

Fain Church was organized in 1891 as the Travis Avenue Presbyterian Church. With each change in location it also picked up a new name. For a time it was the Central Presbyterian Church. In the late 1940�s, when it moved to its present location, it was named for one of its pioneering members, Mary Elizabeth Dickson Fain.

Fain Church was organized as a church of the Presbyterian Church, U.S., which was the southern branch of the church. By God�s grace the �southern� and �northern� branches of the church were reunited in 1983 as the Presbyterian Church (U.S.A.)
