Churches formally reunite to move into the future
After 215 years of separation, a new purpose and unity is leading three protestant denominations to reunite. Like churches across the nation from Hawaii to Illinois, the Jacksboro Parish, formed by the separate local congregations of the Presbyterian and Memorial Christian Church, formally became one church body on January 1 of this year.
Last summer, the two churches combined their resources to expand the present Memorial Christian Church building. Construction is nearing completion and the community-friendly building will be dedicated April 15.
