| Wheatland Church of Christ | 
|
| Wheatland Church of Christ, also known as the Cross Church, is the oldest Disciples of Christ church built mainly for and by blacks in western Michigan. Thomas Cross (1826 -1897), who with five other members founded the church in 1870 was its first elder. Early services were held in the Gingrich and Cross schoolhouses. When the congregation decided to build a church in 1893, Cross donated the land and loaned it the funds. In 1968 the church became an independent nondenominational organization. |
