Bethel Church of Christ celebrates its 150th anniversay on Sunday

Commemoration includes an "old-fashioned" worship service
Posted by Fred Steiner on Monday, September 9, 2019

Bethel Church of Christ in rural Ada will celebrate their 150th anniversary on Sunday, Sept. 15.

Bethel was formed when William Park donated land to a group of Disciples of Christ Christians in 1869 and a church building was erected on what is now County Road 304 and Township Road 56.

In 1913 a new building was built and the original one room building was torn down. Today this building still serves as part of the existing worship center and classroom space downstairs.
