102 N. Main First Christian Church

It has been said of Newton that there is a church on every corner and First Christian Church located at the corner of 1st and Main helps prove the point.

The congregation has worshiped at this corner since 1895, first in a wood frame building and later in a new brick Greek revival-style church with a central dome constructed in 1916.

In 1993, the building was demolished and a new more modern brick structure was built. Two windows from the 1916 building were incorporated into the new church.
