Church History:

"Where two or three are gathered together in my name, there am I in the midst of them." (Matthew 18:20) was the beginning of the First Christian Church in West Alexander, PA. A small group of dedicated believers with a vision to establish a church, met on February 22, 1913 at Kiger's Hall. Later the same year the group moved from Kiger's Hall to the Flynn House. The next move was to the Patterson Building and then to the three rooms under the First National Bank.

On April 5, 1913 property known as the former McCune rear lot, located at 61 North Liberty Street, was donated to the First Christian Church. In 1920, a church building in Beham was given to the West Alexander congregation. The building was dismantled, hauled by horse and wagon to town, and reconstructed on the rear lot. (This old church building was demolished in April of 1991). On February 22, 1939 the group acquired the former McCune front lot at 61 North Liberty Street. In 1961 and 1962, a church parsonage, still being used today, was built on the front lot. Sometime in 1967, the former United Presbyterian Church at 124 Main Street in West Alexander was purchased by the Christian congregation for $4,000. Now forty years later, the building is still the home of The First Christian Church of West Alexander.
