In 1957, a few Christians from the Stuart area decided that a congregation of the Lord’s church was needed. Because of this decision, approximately 8 Christians began meeting for one worship service each Sunday in the home of one of the members. Shortly after they first began meeting, they outgrew the house in which they were meeting so the newly formed congregation took advantage of an offer by the City of Stuart to use the shuffleboard court building rent-free.
During this time, four corner lots became available on Palm Beach Road which was quickly purchased by the church and they began plans for constructing a building on this property. The building was constructed by William Bessemer, one of the members of the congregation. The church of Christ at Stuart met in their newly constructed facilities for the first time on April 1, 1958.
Since then, additions were made, new properties purchased, and numerous men have served this congregation. We are currently served by four men in the eldership: Terry Frizzell, Willie Leonard, Tom Neth, and Greg Moody. Throughout the years, the congregation has been and continues to be involved in many different mission works, both local and worldwide. The Stuart church of Christ has a rich history and a bright future in the service of our Lord.
