Our History

Jasper Church of Christ has been part of the Jasper community for more than a century.

Our story began in 1914, when a small group of Christians began meeting together in a one-room schoolhouse in East Jasper. By the late 1930s, local believers were meeting in several locations around town.

In 1938, following a series of Bible lessons led by preacher C. M. Pullias, these groups came together as one congregation. Later that year, John Stevens became the church’s first full-time minister.

The congregation continued to grow, first meeting in a building on North Main Street. By the late 1950s, that building had become too small, and a new church building was constructed on Highway 96 South, now South Wheeler Street. The congregation moved into its present location in March 1961.

In 1990, the Christian Service Center was added to provide space for fellowship, church activities, community events, and outreach. It continues to serve both the congregation and the wider Jasper community.

Over the decades, many ministers, elders, teachers, families, and members have helped shape the life of Jasper Church of Christ. Through changing times, our purpose has remained the same: to follow Jesus, learn from Scripture, love one another, and serve our community.

Today, we are grateful for more than 100 years of history in Jasper—and we look forward to what God will continue to do in the years ahead.
