The First Presbyterian Church of Piedmont was organized on March 18, 1890, with seventeen charter members by Rev. B. F. Bedinger, a Presbyterian evangelist. Rev. J. E. McLean was the first minister. The first elders were C. W. McMahon and Stephen Ferguson, and the first deacons were John Turk and William Turk. A frame building was erected west of South Main Street, and the congregation occupied it on June 21, 1891. Rev. W. J. Sinnott, the congregation's second minister and superintendent of the Presbyterian Orphanage in Talladega, preached the first sermon in the new building. Because the location was inconvenient, plans were made in 1899 to roll the church on logs to its present site. Until the Panic of 1893 interrupted industrial growth in Piedmont, the church attracted members from other Alabama churches and from Delaware, Maine, New Jersey, North Carolina, and Tennessee. In 1947 a committee was selected to supervise construction of a brick addition for Sunday School rooms. The original frame sanctuary was brick veneered and the interior remodeled in the summer of 1952. In 1987 the interior was again refurbished. It is the oldest church structure in Piedmont.
