Members held services in an apartment in Marion. later they moved to a house on the corner of South Garden St. & Spring St.
In 1960, the Church moved to its present location on Rutherford Rd. & sometime in mid to late 60's became "First Christian Church of Marion." In 2005 a new addition was added on.
Charter members are Dr. & Mrs. M A McCall. Some of the oldest members are Odessa Jones, Will & Helen Hall, Jane Hall, Tommy Hall, Lib Huskins Hoilman, and W.T. & Barbara Broadwell.
