It is my hope that learning more about the sacrifices, the struggles and the victories of those who have lived before us will cause us to grasp the baton of truth and carry it further.
James Vinzant
For years I have wanted to preserve a tad of history about local congregations near where I have lived or that I know of. Often, when the oldest member of a congregation dies, the rich history of that congregations dies with him or her.
Few know about the history of what we call the churches of Christ or the Christian churches in North Texas, Tarrant or Denton County, or in the state of Texas.
Perhaps you have heard the names of Thomas Campbell, Alexander Campbell, Barton W. Stone and Walter Scott, but you may not have heard the names of Collin McKinney, Mansil Matthews, J. B. Wilmeth or B. F. Hall.
It is my hope that learning more about the sacrifices, the struggles and the victories of those who have lived before us will cause us to grasp the baton of truth and carry it further.
