Youngblood Memorial Presbyterian Church. (Robinsonville Presbyterian Church). Established in 1874, this was the second church in Robinsonville (later Robinson). The Rev. Samuel King and 21 other former members of the First Presbyterian Church of Waco organized the Robinsonville Presbyterian Church on December 4. The Rev. Mr. King served until August 1876. Twenty-five members joined in five days that year. By late 1877, the congregation had 71 members. They met in the local schoolhouse until a building was erected in 1878. Membership declined in the 20th century; by 1942, the membership was again twenty-one. The Sunday School reorganized in 1946. Two community benefactors gave the funding for a new building in 1956 in honor of their mothers, Maude (Edwards) Britain and Emma (Mote) Youngblood. It was renamed Youngblood Memorial that year. The congregation continues in the traditions of its founders.
