How it all started...
Five families from the only existing church of Christ in Tulsa (In midtown, at 10th and Rockford) met at the home of Tom and Della Evans in Carbondale to discuss having a church in Carbondale. John Allen Hudson, minister at 10th and Rockford, met with the Evans, Conway, Christiansen, and Ernest Brown families.
The Carbondale City Hall was rented and the first service held in December of 1929. Brother Conway and Brother Evans took turns "giving talks" for a while before Brother Williamson was sent by 10th and Rockford to preach for about a year. Brother Christiansen led the singing. The building in the picture was torn down and reassembled at the current site of the Church near 51st St. They met for the first time in this building in December of 1930.

Expanding the vision...
Men's breakfasts, Ladies' Teas, Valentine Banquets, Free Santa Pictures and sponsorship of Cub Pack 1966 are only a few of the ways Carbondale serves in the community.
