History of Wheatland Christian Church
Wheatland Christian Church started in the home of Mrs. Jemima ridgeway on May 11, 1875. The first church building was built in 1888. Mrs. Ridgeway donated trees from her farm for much of the lumber that went into the structure. The church was remodeled in 1922, with the old building incorporated within. This is a picture of the church as it looked in 1922.
In 1976, the church building was remodeled to accommodate the growing congregation. The sanctuary was enlarged, a corner baptistry was installed, an inside ramp was installed, and a fellowship hall was added.
By 2002, the congregation had outgrown the building . The members of Wheatland Christian Church prayerfully considered their options. Through the guidance of the Holy Spirit, a decision was made to build a new building at the intersection of Highways 50 and 550.
The new church building utilized the original stained glass windows and front doors that were part of the old church. God blessed our efforts and the new church building was complete. Wheatland Christian Church was dedicated on August 17, 2003.
