From July 1949 to August 1951 church services continued under the oak tree with sermons provided by Rev. William Blair, Rev. Steven Cocke, or Rev. James Wallis. After August 1851, the Live Oak Presbyterian Church was relocated to Clinton, Texas in the log frame courthouse. In 1980, the Live Oak congregation dedicated its own church building.
On September 16, 1855, on the east bank of the Guadalupe River the Concrete Presbyterian Church was founded with 13 members of the Live Oak congregation.
October 13, 1878 a Presbyterian Church U.S. was organized in Cuero and met the Episcopal Church once a month. Live Oak and Concrete petitioned the Presbytery of Western Texas to consolidate the three congregations into one church to be located in Cuero and called First Presbyterian Church of Cuero. This was approved and the union consummated on May 5, 1883 with a total of 166 members.

Lumber from the Live Oak Church in Clinton was used to build a frame building in Cuero on the corner of Courthouse and what is now McLeod Street. After “the storm of 1886” blew down the structure, a larger building was erected with stained glass windows commemorating Pastor William Caldwell and James Norman Smith. The pipe organ was installed in 1903 and in 1916 a large brick structure was constructed with a basement and additional windows. Our current building was dedicated on March 28, 1971.
