Our History :

Gallup Christian Church was originally formed in the late 1940's, as "First Christian Church of Gallup."  The Church was affiliated with the United Christian Missionary Society / Disciples of Christ from March 1, 1949 until October 14, 1951, when the Church withdrew itself from this denomination to become an independent Christian Church, and changed its name to "Gallup Christian Church."

Worship services were initially held in several different places including: The Service Center, Girl Scouts Little House, I.O.O.F. Hall, and The Women’s Club.

On July 29, 1952 the congregation voted to buy the corner lot at Cliff and Mesa, the house and land which are now the parsonage were purchased in the Spring of 1953, and construction of the original Church building was completed in June 1953.  Several additions and improvements have been made during the intervening years.
