On October 13, 1908, several Holiness Christian groups came together and formed the Church of the Nazarene at Pilot Point. A memorial commemorating the event is located at the local Church of the Nazarene facility, about two blocks west of U.S. Highway 377. Other churches in the community hold particular historical significance in the community. First Baptist Church, Pilot Point Church of Christ, St. Thomas Aquinas Catholic Church and County Line Baptist Church are among the oldest, continuously functioning Christian congregations in the community. First Baptist Church claims an 1856 founding date that antedates the Civil War. Pilot Point Church of Christ claims a founding date of 1864 and boasts that it currently occupies the meeting house built by church founders in 1874 from timber hauled by ox-drawn carts from Shreveport, Louisiana. St. Thomas Aquinas Catholic Church claims a founding date of the winter of 1891-1892. County Line Baptist Church has served as a spiritual leader for African Americans in the area since 1863. The Pilot Point Church of Christ, St. Thomas Aquinas Catholic Church and County Line Baptist Church are designated as historical sites by the Texas Historical Commission. Rev. J.L. Truett (the brother of the pastor George W. Truett of First Baptist Church-Dallas fame) was the first pastor and founder of Calvary Baptist Church, which formed in 1907.
