About Us

Here is information that will be helpful as you worship with us.

COMMUNION is open to all who believe in the Lord Jesus Christ. Because of the Biblical example of the church found in Acts 2:42 and Acts 20:7, we observe the Lord’s Supper each First Day of the Week.

An invitation will be extended at the end of each service. If you desire to confess Jesus as Your Savior and be buried with Him in Christian Baptism, or if you are an immersed believer in Christ and desire to become a part of a local body of believers, or to express a rededication, you will be invited to come forward at this time.

Brief History of the Medora Christian Church

1909-2005

The first Christian Church was located on the southwest corner of Adam and Perry Street. The property was deeded on May 7, 1878. The Church was still active in 1889. It became inactive before February 1903 when property was sold.

Elder John N. Cross held several evangelistic meetings in Medora and several were converted. A number of these Christians decided to reorganize and re-established the Church March 22, 1909. Property was purchased on June 5, 1909. The Chapel was dedicated September 11, 1910.

A kitchen, 2 restrooms, baptistery and 7 classrooms were dedicated August 29, 1954.

In 1969 property west of the Church to the creek and south to railroad was purchased for a parking lot.

In 1986, the 2 houses south of the Church were purchased. On September 18, 1994 a ground breaking was held for new sanctuary. It was dedicated June 25, 1995.

The property south of the Church has now been purchased for the future home of our family life center.
