History of
Oak Hill Church of Christ
The
Oak Hill congregation began on October 30, 2005. The founding members all formerly
attended the Fairview congregation in Stockbridge, Georgia but many had moved
their residences to southern
Henry County and Butts County and the commute was becoming too much. Also, the members saw a community that was
the fastest growing area in Henry, Newton, and Butts counties and there was no
church of Christ within 20-30 minutes of them. So about 30 Christians decided
to start the Oak Hill congregation.
The group began meeting in the basement of the home of one of its members, Jan King. The group continued to meet there until November 20, 2005, when we ran across an opportunity to begin renting a piece of property that was being used as a worship facility by a denominational group. The facility was also for sale and the members at Oak Hill, showing their faith in what God had put before them and believing in the power of prayer, signed a contract to purchase the property. For three months the group worked to secure financing for the property and the efforts were blessed with success when on February 24, 2006, the group closed on the property. In less than four months the congregation was able to become a legal not-for-profit corporation recognized by the state of Georgia, begin operations with weekly worship services and activities including a Bible School program for all ages, AND purchase 6.6 acres with a building and a private residence.
It is now almost
five years later, we have a full time preacher, and
are growing thanks to the grace of God. Come visit us at the intersection
of Highways 81 and 212 on the Henry/Newton county line. You will find a
loving family of Christians
The Oak Hill congregation
FULLY recognizes that God is at work in this endeavor and are honored to be a
part of this work.
