About Us

The church of Christ began worship in Hillsboro on February 5, 1950 on the third floor of the Farmers & Traders Bank building (currently US Bank). Committed men such as Delbert Gilliland, Bob Smith, Carl Jacobs and others set out to start the church. These men had a vision of what could be and they patterned their work after the New Testament teaching and practice, doing Bible things in Bible ways, speaking where the Bible speaks and being silent where the Bible is silent. (1 Peter 4:11)

 

They met each Sunday at 10:00 a.m. for Bible Study, 10:45 a.m. for worship and 7:45 p.m. for evening worship. There was congregational non-instrumental singing, as taught in Ephesians 5:19, Lord's Supper, giving, prayers and preaching every first day of the week. (Acts 2:41, 20:7, 1 Corinthians 11:23-26). Walter W. Nichols was the first minister for the congregation.

 

The church continued faithfully to worship with their limited resources and a lot of early hardships in the little room above the the bank. Early in 1954 a lot was purchased on the corner of South West and Park Avenue. The construction of a building began and worship soon took place in the building called Park Avenue church of Christ. Over the years, the congregation was blessed with some very knowledgeable young preachers, among them, Bill Pierce, Lloyd Barker, Ken Weliever, Stan Caldwell and Greg Litmer. They devoted their time to the Lord's teachings to speak only where the Bible speaks and being silent where the Bible is silent. (Revelation 22:18-21)

 

In 1976 the congregation was once again outgrowing their building and a lot was purchased on Greenfield Pike in Hillsboro. On February 5, 1977, twenty-three years later, the congregation moved to their present location being known as the Northside church of Christ. Bill Pierce presented the first sermon in this building, and continues to serve as the preacher.

 

The church remains dedicated to faithfully worshipping and working according to the Word of God and now twenty-five years later are planning to expand the building. The church is resolved to being faithful until death and receiving a crown of life. (Revelation 2:10).
