On the Lord's Day of May 14, 1939, a group of sincere "christians only " met at the home of Mrs. G. W. Atkinson and J. Ned Bryan in the first meeting of what subsequently became the Westmoreland Church of Christ.

     Donald A. Nash, a student at Christian Normal Institute (now Kentucky Christian University) was extended a call to preach regularly for the group which continued to meet in this home.  The total attendance at this first meeting was 61 and the offering amounted to $10.25. 

     In July of 1939 a large tent was pitched on the lot, which was later purchased as a permanent site,  and Brothers M.B. Miller and Robert Hendershot conducted revival services which resulted in the organization of the Westmoreland Church of Christ on July 16, 1939, with a total of 107 charter members.

     Following the revival meeting and organization of the Church, services were held at Vinson High School until the erection of a frame building in 1942 located just behind the present building.  The structure that now houses the Westmoreland Church of Christ was dedicated as a House of Worship on November 11, 1951. 

     For 68 years this church has sounded forth the principles of the Restoration of the New Testament Church, not claiming to be a denomination or affiliated with any ecclesiastical group, but simply endeavoring to be Christians only.  We invite you to join us in this effort.
