Marker Text:
On Oct. 11, 1911, the first christian church of Kingsville was organized, many of its charter members being employees of the town’s new railroad. When there was a lack of funds to construct a church, the community responded with donations, allowing building to begin in 1913. The present structure, however, is from a separate 1955 project. Over the years, the church has weathered the great strike of 1922, the World Wars, and the Great Depression. It has dedicated much to the public through its women’s groups, language school, and food programs, thereby fulfilling its covenant to strengthen and heal the community while sharing god’s gifts.
