White Church was a Presbyterian Indian Mission established by Dr. Robert M. Loughridge in 1875. A subscription school was held here in the 1800's. Many pioneers and Creek Indians are buried in the church yard cemetery. Known as Broken Arrow Cemetery, this served as burial ground for early residents of Broken Arrow.
