About First Christian Church
-
First Christian Church, Conroe, was organized in September 1933, when the first congregational meeting was held in a tent on the corner of West Davis and San Jacinto Street under the leadership of W.H. Marler.
Building and Growing
After several months the Church moved to its first permanent location, near the corner of Lewis and Thompson Streets and remained there for five years. Then, in 1938, a tract of land at 510 West Davis Street was donated to the Church. A house of worship was built there, near the current location of the First Interstate Motor Bank, (which is now Walgreens) and meetings were held for the next twenty-six years.
Celebration of the 75th Anniversary of the founding of First Christian Church, which was scheduled for September 21, 2008, was postponed due to the conditions following Hurricane Ike. It was February 8, 2009, when First Christian Church celebrated 76 years of missions and ministry in Conroe, Texas.
Organization and Structure
In its organization and structure, First Christian Church reflects democratic and practical considerations rather than ecclesiastical. Since each congregation of the Christian Churches is self-governing, First Christian Church, Conroe, functions freely and effectively with no outside interference or control. Church administration is unified in an elected board and is carried out as a ministry-based church.
