Brief History of the Presbyterian Church of Salado
The Presbyterian Church of Salado was initiated by the Rev. Billy P. Smith, Th. D., and his wife, LaGreta Reed. The first worship service held on March 10, 1996, in Allen Meeting Hall was attended by 8 people. Shortly thereafter, a steering committee met to organize a mission church and to name Rev. Billy P. Smith as pastor. At that time, the fellowship had 11 members representing 6 families.
