The First Christian Church is one of of Bloomington's oldest churches, as can be seen by its large limestone building on Kirkwood Avenue. The church traces its history back to 1820, and in 1826 bought the first land for a church.
The original church building was a simple log building, which lasted about 15 years and was then replaced by a more permanent structure. In 1884, the current property on Kirkwood was purchased, and the red brick Kirkwood Avenue Christian Church was built.
In 1916 the church burned to the ground, and the current Limestone structure was built.
