First Christian Church

quilt block Temple Court

There were 12 charter members when the Tillamook Christian Church was formally and legally organized in December of 1889. By 1891, the church had purchased land and begun construction of their first building on the northwest corner of what is now Third and Pacific Avenue in Tillamook. By 1892, the building was ready to occupy, using boards for seats. The church relocated to their second, and current, location at Fourth and Laurel Avenue where its building and parking lots cover nearly a city block.
