Our History & Mission:

Eighteen members of the Disciples of Christ denomination in Waco began worshipping in homes as early as 1867. In 1870 they became charter members of a congregation organized under the leadership of Rev. B. F. Hall, who came to Waco from Grayson County at the request of Phoebe Moore and Sallie Skidmore. The cogregation held baptism services in the Brazos River. Sunday School was organized in 1874 and a church building was erected in 1875. That building was sold and a new building was dedicated in 1886 on 11th & Washington. However, the new building was destroyed by fire in 1924. Another new building was erected in 1925. The current property was purchased in 1974 and the church moved in 1980. The present sanctuary was built in 1988. In 2002, the basement was finished to provide additional classrooms, with an elevator added to make access available to all members. The congregation continues to be active in missionary and community outreach programs.
