This congregation first met in members' homes at the end of the 19th century. In 1907, three trustees of the church—Chester Williams, G. M. Purcell, and Claude Hocker—purchased property near what would become Fair Park. An existing white frame building was used for 47 years, with the name of the church changing in accordance with street name changes. Members helped form the Ewing Avenue Church of Christ in Oak Cliff in 1949. Moving to a new site on Bruton Road in 1954, the congregation contributed money, time, and talents to construct a red brick sanctuary that served for many years. By the 1970s, many members had moved to the northeast Dallas suburbs. In 1976, elders purchased more than four acres of land on La Prada Drive. Because the Bruton Road facility was sold quickly, services were held in a Mesquite school until a new church building was completed in December 1979. In keeping with the traditions of its founders, the church is guided by elders and deacons, male members do all speaking and teaching, there is no Sunday School, and singing without instruments is practiced. The congregation is active in foreign and domestic missionary service and community outreach.
