C. H. Cook Memorial Church was a historic church on Church Street in Sacaton, Arizona. It was a large, two-story (approximately 6,000 square feet) mission revival building built of adobe and cement. The addition of the cement allowed for the unusual height for an adobe building.[2] The church was one of the few two-story adobe buildings in Arizona, and could hold approximately 400 people.[2] There is a small cemetery in the churchyard which includes the graves of the son and first wife of Dr. Cook, who died in 1884 and 1889 respectively.[2]

The first church began in April 1889.[2] The C. H. Cook Memorial Church was constructed in 1918 and added to the National Register in 1975.[2] It is believed to be the oldest Presbyterian church in Arizona.[3]

The church was destroyed in a fire on March 25, 2019.[3]
