The Dix River Church of Christ

Established January 29^th 1984

Founded by Mitchell Joseph, Willie Day, and Willie Hendrix.  The three brothers went visiting people in the surrounding community, to talk about starting a new church.

            Homer Day said, that they could hold services in the Dix River Coon Club building.  On January 29^th 1984 the first services were held there.  Twenty-nine people attended the first service.  Willie Day was the preacher of the new church.               

            Soon talk began about building a new church.  Homer and Margaret Day deeded a piece of property on Preachersville Road to build a new church on, and Mitchell and Rebecca Joseph also deeding the land across for a cemetery.  In the fall of 1984, work began on the new church. 

            Donations from other churches and their members, and a lot of time and hard work went into building the new church. 

              Services were held in the new church on Easter Sunday, April the 7^th 1985.  Dedication for the Dix River Church of Christ was held on the first Sunday in June 1985, there were 110 in attendance on that day
