The Christian Church was organized in Red Oak in 1871, the first elders being A. McConnell and C. M. Mills. Services were held in different halls until 1878, when their church was built on the southeast corner of Fifth and Hammond.

In 1913, the present church was built and the members formed a parade as they went from the old to the new church. When the congregation celebrated their twentieth anniversary in this church in June of 1933, they retired the building indebtedness of $3,800.00.

In 1936, the sanctuary was remodeled and beautiful stained glass windows installed.
