| Skyline Church of Christ 1937- Present |
A handful of faithful Christians
came together in the fall of 1937
to establish a New Testament
congregation of the Lord’s
People. These members named
the congregation the Skyline
Church of Christ. Through much
labor the church grew to become
a strong, sound, and vibrant
congregation in the community.
Many fine preachers “fed the
flock” God’s Word throughout
the early years, including Charles
Williams, Laverne Franks, Tommy Lawson, Roland Adams, E.R. Bruce, Don Rudd,
Paul Sparks and Jimmy Allen. As the years passed on so did many faithful servants
of God.
However, in the early 1990’s attendance began to dwindle and soon after the doors
would close to the Skyline Church of Christ due to lack of membership. In 1995
Robert Willis, Estelle Goff, and Opal Pearson had a desire to rebuild the
congregation. Services were rescheduled for Sunday afternoons at 2:30 pm and
Thursday evenings at 7:00 pm. For several months the congregation met with many
faithful brothers and sisters from neighboring congregations in attendance. In 1998,
Brother Robert Willis sought the help of Brother Troy McNutt. He requested that he
preach at the congregation on a regular basis. Troy and his family agreed to come
and work with the revived Skyline Church of Christ and they began their work there
in February of 1998.
The Skyline congregation continued to meet on Sunday afternoons and Thursday
evenings until the beginning of 1999. At that time they began a more active and
normal worship schedule meeting twice on Sunday and on Wednesday evenings for
bible study. In January of 1999 there were 12 active members. The small
congregation worked dilentgently to bring the erring back to Christ and to worship
God in spirit and in truth. As a result of their efforts over the next several years the
attendance began to grow rapidly. As the membership grew so did the need for
additional space. The congregation constructed a new building and on February 12,
2006 the Skyline Church of Christ met in the new building with an attendance of 77.
The church continues to grow through the blessings of God.
