In 1912, when the first building was constructed, the church was formally incorporated under state laws as the First Presbyterian Church of Sand Springs, Oklahoma, under the leadership of Rev. Dr. Seth Gordan. Originally, the church met in a one-room schoolhouse called Pleasant View School on the hill. By the 1960s, the church had outgrown its downtown location and had raised enough money to begin construction of the present day First Presbyterian Church located on Adams Road. Coming full circle, this site is the exact location of the original school house used for worship services in 1908.

The congregation dedicated the new building on August 21, 1966, bringing with them the memorial stained glass windows, organ and cornerstone filled with artifacts, documents and mementoes from its history.
