South Texas Church History Project
Please help us with the South Texas Church History Project by submitting names of church leaders in your congregation, photos of your church buildings and special events, photos of deeds, etc. This list includes congregational information as well as para-church group information.
Information has been taken from
History of Churches of Christ in Texas 1824-1950 by Dr. Stephen Eckstein, Jr. You may order a copy from his website.

Information specifically for San Antonio has been taken from a Master's Thesis written by J. Marshall Butz entitled A Brief history of the Church of Christ in San Antonio, Texas, 1876-1951.
Gathering this information began on January 16, 2010. Please do not be offended if your congregation/ministry/leader is not listed below. Be patient and feel free to email me information so that I may make additions more quickly!
