CENTRAL CHRISTIAN CHURCH
_____
In every community there are a few people who leave an
uplifting influence that is permanent and people of later generations call
to mind their habits and manner of thinking as a chart of action. Of this
class of men were Bill and Sumner Sparkman and C. M. And Nelson Boynton
who were the leading spirits in organizing the Christian or Church of
Christ.
The first church building of this religious body was
located on the hill just east of the school buildings, and it is now used
as a home for the school janitor. Although church services were not held
regularly the members met every Sunday morning for Sunday School and
Communion services. A few years later the church moved to a building on
the east side of town where they worshiped for some time. A difference of
doctrinal points led to a division in the church and part of the
membership withdrew and built a church on the north side of town which is
known as the Central Christian Church.
All departments of the church are well organized under
the leadership of Brother Walker as he is affectionately spoken of by his
members. This young minister, who preaches at the Central Christian Church
twice a month, is still a student of the Texas Christian University in
Fort Worth and is one of the coming young ministers of the times.
The influence of the men and women who founded this
church still radiate a kindly spirit that is recognized among its members
as friendliness and good will. The extend a cordial hospitality to all who
choose to worship with them.
