The First Cumberland Presbyterian Church was organized in 1867 by thirteen charter members who met in the courthouse with Rev. A. J. Haynes as their pastor. The wooden church they erected near the Trinity River and Pacific Avenue in 1868 is cited by The History of Texas as the first Presbyterian church and the second house of worship built in Dallas. By 1880 the congregation had moved, along with its new building, to a new site on Harwood Street, between Bryan and Live Oak, the suburbs of the time. By 1897 the congregation began construction of a red brick church nearby, at the corner of Harwood and Commerce Streets, taking occupancy in January of the following year. From this building, they hosted the Cumberland Presbyterian General Assembly meeting in 1904 at which reunion with the Presbyterian Church USA was debated and approved.

In 1906, the congregation went into the Presbyterian Church and changed its name to Central Presbyterian Church. On Thanksgiving Day in 1915 ground was broken at Patterson and Akard Streets for the third church, intended by its large size, facilities, and downtown location as both a house of worship and a benefit for the whole community, which at the time had no public halls for lectures, concerts, or recreation. The City Temple of the Central Presbyterian Church was dedicated in 1917, and the congregation shortly dropped all but the City Temple from its name. The fourth church, at Park Lane and North Central Expressway, was constructed in 1962, and dedicated in March, 1963. In order to reflect the new location, the name was changed in 1966 to NorthPark United Presbyterian Church, and following denomination reunion in 1983, to NorthPark Presbyterian Church, (USA). Ground breaking for the current building (9555 North Central Expressway) was in December, 1989.
