Minksville Church of Christ History

The Minksville Church of Christ can trace its beginning in Harrison County, Ohio back to the year 1833. Historical accounts of a preacher name Robert Cook who was involved in the work here in this area take us back to December 14, 1833. He pens a letter to those who had interest in the work in Nottingham township, some think this may have been those involved in the Restoration movement. Part of the letter reads as follows: "Since I saw you my health has improved greatly. I recently delivered five discourses in Nottingham, 23 souls made the good confession and were baptized for the remission of sins. The prospect in this place is truly flattering."

In another of his accounts he mentions 40 members in 1834. From November to May of 1836 he mentions in this time span 30 new members were added to the church at Nottingham. Robert Cook died on September 12, 1845, at the age of 41. He is buried in the Minksville Cemetery which is located across the road from the present building. His headstone is inscribed with these words: Elder Robert Cook, Died Sept. 12, 1845, Aged 41 yrs. At the base of the stone are these words: The Lord giveth and the Lord taketh, Blessed be his holy name.

The original building first used by the Church was located somewhere in the area where the cemetery sits on Minksville Road. It was a log cabine structure that was used from 1833 until 1853. The cemetery belonged to the Church until 1948. The following is an entry in the Church record book from the 1940's, "On August 1, 1948, the Minksville cemetery was deeded over to the township trustees, by the trustees of the Minksville Church of Christ, to be maintained by said trustees of Nottingham Township." Signed, Luther Kidder.

The building, which the Church uses today, is the same building that was erected in 1853. In fact, that date is carved into one of the foundation stones of the building. Over the years there have been many improvements made to the building to bring it up to modern day conditions.

Through the years in which the Lord's Church has been in this location, it has been referred to by different names. In 1881 it was called the Church of Christ at Nottingham, Ohio. In 1890 it was called the Disciples of Christ, and at one time it was called the Nottingham Christian Chapel. But since 1894 all written accounts say it is the Church of Christ at Minksville, Ohio.
