CHRISTY MEMORIAL METHODIST
(Episcopal) CHURCH, South [Methodist] 1892
The beginning of this church dates back to 1892 when Dr. C. F. Simmons was inspired to
missionary endeavers. He organizaed a Sunday school at Voyce’s Hall (Morganford &
Chippewa). The rapid growth of this organization led to the formation of a church in 1894.
The first small church was erected in 1894 and was known as BECKVILLE METHODIST EPISCOPAL
CHURCH, SOUTH and later as OAK HILL METHODIST EPISCOPAL, SOUTH. First pastor was Rev. W.
H. Blake. In 1911 the church was moved to 4304 Neosho (at Morganford) and its name was
changed to CHRISTY MEMORIAL (in honor of C. M. Christy). Present church, 4601 Morganford
Rd., was completed in 1914 with an addition in 1939 and front remodeling in 1978. (aka
