Celebrate 76 years of ministry with your church family during a special reception in the Gathering Hall from 10:30 AM to 11:00 AM.
Woodmont was “planted” in 1943 by a group of members from Vine Street Christian Church and Dr. Frank Drowota came on a leap of faith from First Christian Church in Mayfield, KY to serve as the founding pastor from 1943-1973. The founding members of our church signed their names to a document called, “The Covenant” which now hangs in the narthex. It reads:
“We do hereby solemnly covenant with God and one another to band ourselves together to establish a Christian Church in this community for ourselves and posterity. We pledge our time, substance, talents and prayers to the end that His Church shall be a house of prayer for all people, a fellowship of those who believe in Christ and strive to follow his teachings, and a part of the Church Universal. We aim to erect a suitable edifice for divine worship, for Christian education, for stewardship, for world missions, and to minister to the spiritual needs of the community. All of this…. we covenant to be and do under the guidance of God and the leadership of Jesus Christ our Lord.”
As we begin our 77th year together, may we recommit ourselves to standing on the shoulders of those who have gone before us, grateful for our rich history and excited for an even stronger future of serving this community and world!
