Founding of the First Christian Church Berryville
"In October, 1871, a devoted and committed group of men and women meet together in Berryville, Carroll County to organize a Christian Church and to make plans for a building in which they might worship. At the close of this meeting they pledged their time, talent, and material possessions to accomplish their purposes. The first elders were W. C. Stephens and M. W. Fisk; the first deacons were W.A. Bonner and S.B. Meek."
