Christian Church (Stockport, Iowa)

Christian Church (Stockport, Iowa)

A Christian Church of Christ congregation was first organized in the Van Buren County town of Stockport in 1892. Early worship services were held in the local hoop factory. By 1894, the church had grown to 32 members, and Tarpley Early Taylor led the effort to build the permanent (and present) facility. Tarpley’s immediate family honored his efforts in spearheading construction with the front stained glass windows.
