There is no downtown Wylie, but locating your church near the Wylie High School campus is close enough.
First Christian (Disciples of Christ) in 2019 departed downtown Abilene, leaving its site at North Third Street after entering into a sale agreement with neighboring First Baptist. It was put up for sale in 2018.
This was big news because First Christian has been around for 135 years; Abilene was founded 140 years ago this year.
Its congregation has worshipped at the Enterprise Building and, of course, online when in-person services were negated by COVID-19. But even during a pandemic year, progress was made on finding a new home.
