CHURCH HISTORY
IN THE BEGINNING . . .
In 1903, a group of people in the Ross County area, desired to start a church in an old store front on the corner of Park Street & Arch Street, that believed in the work of Sanctification as a "second work of grace."
Under the leadership of Pastor Seigel McKibban, the Church began, being the first Church to bear the name "Church of Christ in Christian Union."
In the year of 1912 our Church joined the new denomination of the "Churches of Christ in Christian Union".
In 1915, the Church moved to the corner of Allen Avenue and High Street staying 3 years before moving to its current location at 477 North High Street in 1918.
In 1942 the Church was remodeled, adding a basement along with other improvements.
Again in 1968 the Church was remodeled with a new Sanctuary, basement, & additional parking.
Over a period of a couple of years in the 2000's the Church was upgraded adding new restrooms, carpeting, sound system, video projection system, grand piano, roofing, and much more.
