Originally known as the Delta Presbyterian Church, Kerrville Presbyterian Church was founded by the Reverend Andrew Hart Kerr on July 25, 1857, with 23 members. The original one-room log building was destroyed by fire. A tornado destroyed the second church building on 8 June 1917. The current building was erected in 1924. Reverend Kerr, for whom the community is named, donated 44 acres of land, 100,000 bricks for a depot, and $3,500 in cash to attract the railroad through Kerrville.
