Xenia Church of Christ was established in 1942 by five families living in the Xenia are that had been worshiping in Springfield. Due to gasoline rationing during World War II, these families needed a meeting place closer to home. Together, they bought a small house at 870 S. Detroit St. in Xenia and began worshiping there. Like all who lived during the war, times were tough. That reality did not prevent the church from meeting. With God's help, they made it work and the church took off.

For the remainder of the war and throughout the 1950s, the original building was an ideal location. However, during the 1960s and early 1970s the church needed a bigger facility. After the tornado of April 3, 1974, an opportunity arose and a new church building was built. The new building would be located at 444 Country Club Dr. In 2005, a major renovation updated much of the decor and equipment.

The history of a church is not only about the buildings in which it meets. History, especially that of a church, is made by its members living their lives and impacting the world around them. The church of Christ in Xenia has made an impact on people through evangelistic efforts and by benevolence. Whether through Bible studies, worship assemblies, providing food and clothing, or other efforts, we will continue to live our faith by loving God and loving people.
