The church of Christ which meets at the corner of Sixth and Washington Streets began meeting around 1884. Services were first held in the homes of members, in a boat house, and at the Washington County Court House.
On October 11, 1890, the first elders were appointed and some five years later a building was purchased on Fort Harmar Square in West Marietta. The building was used for worship until March 1913, when it was practically destroyed by the worst flood in the history of the Ohio Valley.
The church met in various places while constructing a building at the corner of Sixth and Washington Streets. The first service at this location was November 16, 1913. A new auditorium was completed in 1968 which seats over 500.
The congregation has been, and continues to be, heavily involved in mission work. Involvement in foreign evangelism sites over the years have included Italy, Guyana, Rhodesia, France, Austria, Gambia, the Philippines, Thailand, New Guinea, India, Germany, and South Africa. Evangelistic efforts in the United States are too numerous to list.
As a congregation we are committed to Christ and His gospel. We believe the Bible to be the inspired, authoritative, all-sufficient, and inerrant word of God.
