Read about our journey

• The Spencer County Church of Christ began in the Summer of 1980 with Bobby Wade promoting it. We first met in a car parts storage room. I’m the only original member left in the church. We knocked on doors all over Rockport, handing out Christian literature and inviting people to join us. We had very little money and would take home our communion cups to wash and reuse them.
• When the power plant started, we gained several members who were already Christians. We had members take turns preaching to our group and we were supported by other churches for a while. When the building on Center St went up for sale, we were able to purchase it. We had several children who lived in the area join our congregation.
• Rick Dominy was our first paid preacher. He and his wife were expecting a son, Joe. Joe had muscular dystrophy and passed away at the age of 21. He touched a lot of lives with his kind disposition, his love of God, and his smile. Rick and his wife eventually moved back to North Carolina.
• Our congregation continued to grow and had approximately 80 members when Bobby Wade was our preacher. We lost several families when Hawesville started a church.
• Bobby and Dan Wade played a great part in the church. They are both great preachers, teaching “Truth in Love” and dedicated their lives to saving souls.
• While we have gained and lost some members we still remain faithful and welcome those who want to serve.
• Ken and Opal Walton donated the ground to build our new building.
