In the year 1957, a few Christians from the Stuart, FL area, who had been worshiping with the Orange Avenue congregation in Ft. Pierce, decided a congregation of the Lord's church was needed in the Stuart area. Because of this decision, approximately 8 Christians began meeting for one worship service on each Sunday in the home of one of the members. Shortly after they first began meeting, they outgrew the house in which they were meeting, therefore a larger house was found in which to worship. Chairs were borrowed each Sunday from a funeral home so that the members would have places to sit for worship. Again this did not provide sufficient room for long, so the newly formed congregation took advantage of an offer by the City of Stuart to use the shuffleboard court building rent free. Certainly this was a tremendous opportunity for the church in Stuart. read more
