History of the Elgin Church of Christ
formerly known as the Wolf Creek Church of Christ

The Church of Christ on Wolf Creek Road in Elgin, Tennessee was started about 1915 by a circuit-riding preacher named John C, Lewallen. In a letter dated 7-23-1924, Brother Lewallen writes the following account of his work here.

"[When] I began to preach there... there was an old house there to which no church had a title... it was leaning considerable to one side. It sat behind a dense alder thicket... which almost hid the entire ... house from the road."

Brother Lewallen got busy and purchased the property for the Church, remodeled the old building, preached and baptized many and even taught the people to sing. An insurance policy was taken out on the newly remodeled building and shortly thereafter it mysteriously burned to the ground. Many of the members at the time believed that a man was hired to burn it because of community opposition to what was then known as "Campbellism".
