The Mooresville church of Christ has an amazing history. It is a story of courage, cooperation, conviction and continuance. With a desire to use the Bible alone as their religious guide, the Mooresville Church of Christ began in 1851 and began worshiping on the newly purchased property that three years later would become home to the new church building. In 1854, the charming white, wooden, one-room meeting house was completed. At present, it is the oldest church of Christ building in the state of Alabama still on its original foundation. Through all these years, it has stood as a symbol of what the Lord can do when hearts are receptive to His guidance. It has provided a place for the truths of the Bible to be preserved and taught. It has served as a safe haven of unity for “slave” and “free”, “yanks” and “rebels”. It even welcomed a future President of the United States, James Garfield, to its pulpit. In this current time of racial, political and religious animosity, the Mooresville church of Christ building reminds us that we can put away our differences and become one harmonious body in the Lord.
