Woodland Memory 4-The Christian Church in Lexington

In this episode, we trace the origins of the Christian Church in Lexington—from a small gathering of just twenty-four members in 1816 to a growing movement that helped shape the city itself. Set against the backdrop of a frontier town becoming the “Athens of the West,” this story follows the rise of a faith rooted in unity, simplicity, and adaptation. It is a story of growth, vision, and the moment when seven congregations came together to imagine something new—giving rise to Woodland Christian Church.
