Church of Christ

The church of Christ in Arab dates back to the third week of September 1933. Prior to this time, the few members that lived in Arab were inactive. Brother Oran T. Bolding, a visiting gospel preacher, held a series of gospel meetings in the old “Riddle Store Building,” downtown. As a result of these meetings, several people were baptized and they along with the other members began meeting regularly on Sundays. As the colder weather arrived, the group needed a smaller, better heated meeting place. The group obtained permission to meet in one room of the school agricultural building. The church continued to grow as other members and families moved to Arab and began attending. The church later moved the services into the school auditorium to better accommodate the attendance. https://www.arabcofc.org/
