Building the First Church
In July of 1949 Rev. John Black, pastor of the Morristown Church of God along with a few of his members began to see a need for a Church of God in the Russellville community. He began to conduct services in what was known as the Morristown Theatre Building at 2:00 pm on Sundays. On June 1, 1950, the Russellville Church of God was established with ten members transferring from the Morristown Church of God (now known as The Connection). The new church needed a building and members of the Russellville Community donated not only land, but also trees for lumber which men of the church cut themselves. With Rev. B.O. Cantrell as pastor the church began. Several pastors led the church in the following years, and under the leadership of Rev W.R. & Patsy Morrisett the small church was bricked and bathrooms were added. The small brick building has since held Children's Church, a Youth Building and is still used by the church today.
