In 1878 a frame meeting house was erected on the site
of the present building. This structure was built on four and one forth acres
of land given by Bill Luther. Most likely, faithful Christians had been
assembling on the first day of the week prior to that time. A brick building
was erected in 1944 with a wing added in 1958. Our present building was
completed in 1972. Its auditorium has a seating capacity of four hundred and
fifteen, and it contains twenty-one classrooms. The fellowship building was added
later.
Men who preached on a part time basis in the first two
buildings included: H. A. Brown, W. T. Boaz, F. O. Howell, E. C. L. Denton, A.
G. Freed, E. C. Morgan, A. O. Colley, Claude Hall, A. L. Wilson, Stanley Jones,
John B. Hardeman, Fred Chunn, Adron Doran, L. H. Pogue, Bill Yates, and Bob
Brooks.
The minister's home was built in 1952 on land donated
by H. M. Holloway. In 1970 an additional two rooms and bath were added. Willie
Johnson was the first full time minister for the congregation. Succeeding full
time ministers were: Charles Sumrall, Aaron Herren, Vergil Joines, Glann Lee,
John Forgy, Gene McKnight, James Long, Gerald Baker, Ken Mears, Bruce Tucker,
