Allison Christian Church

At an early date, religious services began in the Allison area when the Rev. Wilkenson, preached and baptized at a point along the Solomon River east of Allison.  A deacon at the time was Elijah Chenoweth.

Later T. J. Jackson led a group, preached and baptized at the Glen Valley schoolhouse.  For a time services were held once a month at the J. W. Scott farm, at which time people brought basket dinners and stayed for two services which were conducted by the Rev. Barton Stone Mulkey.  Scott provided the seats and the speakers’ platform.

Through the influence of this minister grew the need for a church building, which was planned and financed by J. W. Scott and C. W. Johnson.  The building was erected in 1908-1909 and was dedicated by the Rev. Charles E. Early.    At this time the Re. M. J. Hibbs of Hill City was called as pastor and was serving the church when it burned in September of 1910. 

The church building burned October 17, 1951 and a new one was started up the hill from the old one in March of 1952.  First services were held in December 1952, but dedication was not held until October 22, 1953.

Sunday School services were discontinued in 1972 and all contents of the building were sold at public auction in the late 1970's.
