Central Christian Church. Of Waco. Eighteen members of the Disciples of Christ denomination in Waco began worshiping together in homes as early as 1867. In 1870 they became charter members of a congregation organized under the leadership of the Rev. B.F. Hall, who came to Waco from Grayson County at the request of Phoebe Moore and Sallie Skidmore. The congregation held Baptism services in the Brazos river. A Sunday school was organized in 1874, and a church building was erected in 1875. The congregation continues to be active in missionary and community outreach programs.
