Who we are
Our mission is to glorify God by teaching people to know Christ and to make Christ known.
What We Believe
Because God is the Savior, only He has the authority to say what is required of us, to be forgiven of our sins and to be accepted into His family of the saved.
The answer God gave through Peter in Acts 2 was the one answer given throughout the book of Acts, instructing people in their obedience to God. Even today, that answer has not changed. If we want to be forgiven, we must repent and be baptized for the forgiveness of our sins, and He will add us to His Church (Acts 2:47).

Tonto Street Church of Christ History
In 1934, the congregation that is now known as the Church of Christ at Tonto Street in Phoenix, was established by Brother A.L. Cassius of California. Brother Cassius pitched his Gospel Meeting tent on Magnolia Street, and the Lord blessed his effective preaching of the Gospel when several spiritual babes were born into His family through baptism. The congregation continued to meet in the tent for a few months until a move was made to a community house near the corner of 13th Street and Jefferson. Later a more private meeting place was found in a storefront building where they met for a year.
In 1936, Brother Cassius purchased a piece of property on 11th Avenue. The first real home of the congregation was erected on this lot. They continued to worship there until the mid-forties, when the brethren erected another building at the corner of 11th Avenue and Tonto Street. The congregation currently worships at this location.
During the early years of the congregation’s existence, Brother Cassius made frequent trips to the Valley to help the newly founded church. Since 1959, the Church of Christ that meets at Tonto Street has had two very profound ministers: Brother Paul Young and Brother Merlon “Mack” Thompson. The efforts of these faithful men have greatly impacted the congregation’s continued growth and spiritual steadfastness.
The history of the congregation at Tonto Street in Phoenix is richly highlighted by the names of many well known and powerful preachers: R.N. Hogan, J.S. Winston, Levi Kennedy, and Marshall Keeble. These dedicated servants of God came to the Phoenix area frequently to hold Gospel meetings and thereby kept the Light of God’s Word burning strongly in the hearts of many Christians.
