History

The Centerville Road congregation began as the Broadway Church of Christ on October 26, 1958, as a new work of the congregation meeting at Eighth and Austin Streets in Garland. A commercial building located on Belt Line Road at Rose Hill was rented and used as a meeting place for eight months. Twenty-six members of the Eighth and Austin Street church formed the nucleus of the new congregation. Other families living in the general area from the Saturn Road congregation in Garland and of the Mesquite congregation joined them in the work. By the end of the first week the new Broadway church was composed of 24 families with 54 members.
