Lower Bucks Church of Christ
History of the Lower Bucks Church
The Lower Bucks Church of Christ congregation had it beginning on July 5,
1953 when the originating members who had been worshiping with the Liberty
Street Church of Christ in Trenton, NJ decided to form a new congregation.
This was done not for any philosophical differences with the Liberty Street
Church, but to establish the presence of a congregation in the Levittown –
Fairless Hills, Pennsylvania area. Originally called the Levittown –
Fairless Hills Church of Christ, the members met for worship services in the
home of Helen Almond and then in the home of Wendell and Barbara Kee, our
first minister and his wife.
While we met and worshiped at the old chapel, land was purchased and
construction began for a new facility on the Levittown Parkway in the Holly
Hill section of Levittown, Pennsylvania. The new building was completed and
dedicated in 1956. Our worship services have been held here at this location
since that time.
In 1985 the building was expanded to accommodate our added growth and to
update the facilities for use in the future. In recognition of the wide
region we are now reaching, we became known as the Lower Bucks Church of
Christ. Today we continue to worship our Lord and are committed to spreading
His divine word throughout Lower Bucks County.
As the congregation grew our homes became too small to hold our worship
services. For a brief period of time we met in the library of Delhaas High
School located relatively close by. Later we moved to a very old chapel in the
midst of the small cemetery in Tullytown, Pennsylvania. It was here that the
members could foresee that a new building would soon be needed to accommodate
the needs of the congregation.
