 The Anacortes Christian Church was organized on June 11, 1911 with the first services
held in Shannon's Hall downtown Anacortes on Sunday afternoon. (Name was: First
Christian Church).
In November, 1912, a Ladies Aid Society was organized by seven ladies, with the
purpose of beginning a Christian Church. Our first building was located on the corner
of 10th and "M" Avenue. Services began in November, 1912.
Our second building was built at 1211 "M" Avenue in 1969. Our first service in that
building was on September 12, 1971.
On November 22, 1987, we celebrated 75 years of service to this community and beyond,
all to the glory of God.
 Historically, Anacortes Christian Church is linked to a group of churches which
had their common origin in what is called the Restoration Movement. This Movement
began early in the 19th century along the frontier in the newly formed United States.
Its purpose was to promote Christian Unity by restoring the New Testament Church.
The Restoration Movement stresses that Jesus is Lord, Jesus is the only means of
salvation and eternal life, and the authority of the Bible is the only rule for
faith and practice.
The Anacortes Christian Church is a fellowship of believers who have no creed but
Christ, no book but the Bible, and no name but Christian.
