History
Springfield Christian Church dates to the 1860s. It is affiliated with the Pioneer Cemetery, which was formally established in 1866, even though a grave stone dated 1848 indicates the burial site may have been used much earlier.
Old church rolls of the Springfield First Christian indicate that a congregation was formed sometime before 1872.
In 1873 the denomination ran a school (Murphy 1873:254). The Christian Church was erected near the Pioneer Cemetery on Willamette Heights in 1880 (Graham 1878c). None of these early church buildings have survived.
On lot 4 of block 41, the First Christian Church was built and remained there until approximately 1905 when it moved to it's present street location at 4th and North A streets.
