The Reverend Dr. Alexander Talley was the first pastor of the First Methodist Church of Pensacola.
On December 7, 1821, the Mississippi Conference of the Methodist Church established a mission to Pensacola, and appointed Rev. Dr. Talley as the mission's first pastor. Talley had previously been sent in 1819 as a missionary to Alabama; however, he fell ill after a time and retired to Mount Vernon, Alabama, on the Alabama River, where he practiced medicine.
He served as pastor at the Pensacola mission for approximately a year before retiring again to Mount Vernon, Alabama.
