A Church Family In Monticello
Our Story
The Monticello Church of Christ was established in 1957 by a small group of dedicated families gathered together with a shared desire to follow Christ and His word. As the congregation grew, they met in several locations before purchasing property at the corner of Railroad and Market St in 1959 - and completed construction in 1962. Though our original building was destroyed by the tornado that hit Monticello in 1974, it was rebuilt that year and continues to serve as the meeting place for the congregation. Since then, our mission has remained the same, to faithfully follow Christ, grow together in His Word and share His love and truth with the Monticello community.
