First Christian Church of Duncanville traces its origin to informal services held in Duncanville in the early 1890s by the Rev. G. Q. Grasty of nearby Lancaster. According to local tradition, Robert N. Daniel, the son of a local Baptist preacher, and his wife Frances A. (Palmer) played an important role in the formal organization of the congregation in 1893 and were among its seventeen charter members. Services were held in a schoolhouse until 1913, when a sanctuary was built with funds donated by Robert and Frances. In 1916, Frances deeded the land on which the church was built to the congregation. The sanctuary was accidentally destroyed by fire in 1917, and the bank entrusted with funds to replace it failed, but the congregation completed a new sanctuary in 1919. A classroom, choir loft, and two wings were added in 1923. Weekly services began in 1949. The church built a new sanctuary here in 1959 on a lot it had purchased from a Daniel family member in 1953, and it later added an educational wing in 1968 and a fellowship hall in 1988. First Christian Church continues to serve local citizens with a variety of educational and community outreach programs.
