West Point Christian Church, Yukon, established in 1894 just 5 years after the Land Run, celebrated their 130th anniversary with a packed sanctuary on Sunday, September 8, 2024. Members built the church with their own hands in 1899. The building is on the National Register of Historic Places, the official list of the Nation’s historic places worthy of preservation.
Interim Regional Minister, Rev. Randy Kuss, brought the message for the day, “Pilgrims on the Way.” Musical highlights included a beautiful rendition of “Near the Cross” on oboe and harp as well as special music by West Point’s “Clergy Consort,” a group anchored by the six clergy who attend there, singing “We Call Ourselves Disciples.”
Worship was preceded by a “Magical History Tour” put together by Rev. Kevin Adams with 18 stations exploring the long and rich history of the congregation, and followed up in the Family Life Center with a meal and anniversary cake.
West Point is co-pastored by Rev. Debi Powell-Maxwell and Rev. Jann Osborn.
