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 &amp; 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.</span></span></font></span></p>]]></content></entry></feed>
