                             THE CHURCH  OF CHRIST
                               (African American)


     Meetings were held for nearly three years in a tent that was erected on 
the church grounds.  The church began building in 1979 or 1980.  The old 
Schultz home was bricked up and an addition was made to the side of the 
building that fronted Harrison Street.  The new part is the meeting house and 
the older section is used as living quarters by the pastor and his family.

     The first to pastor in the church building was the Reverend Lee Guthrie 
with fourteen members. He remains as pastor and has a membership of seventy-
three in 1987.  Services are  held every Sunday morning and evening.  Bible 
class is held each Wednesday night.
