Inscription.
First Christian Church of Luling. . Eula Nichols moved from a farm near Austin to Luling in 1891 to attend school. She persuaded the Rev. A.J. Bush to hold a revival service here in 1892. As a result, First Christian Church was organized with the Rev. G.S. Kimberly serving as president minister. The congregation purchased the lower level of a local Masonic lodge where they held services until 1946. A sanctuary, built at this site in 1947, burned and was replaced with a new building in 1979. The church sponsors a variety of youth programs and remains active in local and foreign outreach activities.
