   MoreFranklin Central Christian Church began on November 18, 1962 with the first organizational meeting taking place at the home of Dr. and Mrs. L.W. Jefferies in Wanamaker, Indiana. Rev. Ronald Secrist was our organizing minister. In April, 1963, we called our first full-time pastor, the Rev. Orville Williams. We worshipped at the Franklin Central High School Auditorium. We celebrated Charter Day Franklin Central Christian Church on Pentecost Sunday, June 2, 1963. During it's first year the congregation purchased a parsonage on Eaton Drive. The first unit of the church was built in 1967 at the corner of Franklin Road and Southeastern Ave. on 4.5 acres. In 1973, ground was broken for the second unit of the building. This addition included six new classrooms, a new parking lot and converting the fellowship hall into a sanctuary. In 1997, we completed the second remodeling of our sanctuary and added a gathering room, a new kitchen and a new entryway. In 2009, a new playground and picnic shelter were added to the church property. Christian Church ( Disciples of Christ ) is a body of approximately 800, 000 Christian believers in some 3, 700 congregations in the United States and Canada. Our mission comes straight out of the New Testament part of the Bible. It's our mission to be and to share the Good News of Jesus Christ, loving, witnessing and serving from our doorsteps to the ends of the earth. We believe that God is calling us to be a faithful, growing church that demonstrates true community, deep Christian spirituality and a passion for justice. In 1832, two American frontier religious movements came together. One, led by Barton Stone, called itself simply, "Christians." Thomas and Alexander Campbell's group was called "Disciples of Christ." One important belief back then and now is that people shouldn't be forced to put faith in creeds but only in Jesus Christ. Another strong belief is that God wants churches to be in unity instead of in pieces. Less
