The First Christian Church in Lawton was built in 1928 and designed by architect Walter T. Vahlberg. It actually burned down shortly after construction and was rebuilt the next year using the same design. There are 10 stained glass windows, 5 on the east and 5 on the west side. There is a large rose window on the south above the main entrance. An educational building was built on the west side in 1958.
