| FrederickChristian Church |
The original organizationof the Frederick Christian church dates back almost 60 years, for it wason June 1, 1890 following the completion of the new house of worship, thatthe dedicatory sermon was preached Rev. D. E. Hughes, resident pastor ofthe Rushville Christian church.It was thru the efforts ofa number of Frederick’s Christian women that the church was erected, amongthe number being Mrs Hudson Dean, Mrs. Frank Rebman, and Mrs. Sarah Coningham.These three women, with others whose names we are unable to learn, allserved unceasingly until their church was functioning in accordance withtheir ambitions.
This church was destroyedby fire on the first Sunday in October, 1935, and 13 months later, on November15, 1936, a rebuilt house of worship, the present church edifice in Frederick,was dedicated, the sermon being preached by Rev. W. W. Vose, a belovedformer pastor, who served there as church pastor during the period of WorldWar I.
The church does not havea resident pastor at this time, but Sunday school is held regularly, witha good attendance of the Frederick folks.
