About
History of the South Cobb Church of Christ
Although the South Cobb Church of Christ came into being on January 1, 1994, it has a long and rich history. The Liberty Hill
and Clarkdale congregations, which began in 1865 and 1958 respectively,
agreed to a merger in the fall of 1993. For the first few months
the new congregation met at the Clarkdale building. Then for approximately
one year the church worshiped at the Winkenhofer Funeral Home
on Flint Hill Road in Austell. Growth was taking place even as
we met in this temporary location.
Our first Sunday in the building we now occupy was July 9,
1995. Since that day we have steadily grown numerically and spiritually
to over 200 strong, to the point that we need a presence on the
World Wide Web.
Every church must have a vision of what it wants to be or it
will die. We dream of always being a church that is faithful to
the Lord and His inspired Word. Our dreams include both being
a family that welcomes our brothers and sisters in the Lord regardless
of skin color, ethnic background, or any other superficial differences.
We firmly and joyfully accept the truth that all are one in Christ.
Another dream is that we will reach out to our community by teaching
the unsearchable riches of Christ even as we help the poor, feed
the hungry, and clothe the naked. Most importantly, our aim is
to make these things a reality, and not just dreams.
May God help us reach out and grow our family in Christ at
South Cobb.
