The congregation, which informally calls itself "City Pres," is affiliated with the Presbyterian Church in America.

During its heyday the church was the place of worship for many of Oklahoma City's civic leaders, including The Oklahoman's publisher E.K.

The building was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1984,[5] but fell into disrepair under subsequent ownership.

[7] City Presbyterian Church, founded by Doug Serven and Bobby Griffith, started with a group of about 20 people who began meeting in a private home in Norman, Oklahoma in the summer of 2011, with the goal of planting a PCA church in downtown Oklahoma City.

From January 2012 through March 2014 it met in space which was rented or borrowed from various churches in downtown Oklahoma City.
