Liberty Christian Church Of Newnan
History:
Liberty Christian Church was organized in Coweta County in 1847 by the Reverend John Smith. It is believed that this congregation is the third oldest church affiliated with the Disciples of Christ in Georgia. This historic church dates back almost to the very beginnings of the Disciples of Christ.
Charter members of Liberty Christian Church include such names as Lenderman, Dyer, Smith, and Hyde. Descendants of these pioneer families are still on the roll of the church today.
In 1863 Henry Hyde gave the church two acres including the land where the church cemetery is located.
Today this quaint white church, with delicate corbeling at the roofline and square brick columns, sits peacefully in a grove of trees on Macedonia Road. Though there have been several additions to the church building, the congregation still worships in the first permanent house of worship built in 1854.
