First Christian Church of Crockett

Crockett, Houston County

Marker Text

Members of this congregation met for abut two years before they were formally organized in 1901 under the leadership of the Reverend Harry Hamilton. A wood sanctuary built in 1901 served the congregation until 1949, when a larger brick church edifice was erected. A fellowship hall was added in 1960. Membership dropped in 1975, and ministerial students conducted worship services. By 1979 church membership tripled and a new fellowship hall was built. The congregation supports many domestic and foreign mission programs, and continues to serve the community.
