Description

University Church of Christ was the Tuscaloosa News Feature Church on February 13, 1970.

"The University Church of Christ was established in 1954 with 49 resident and student members. The present building was begun in 1956 and was built in three stages; the last stage being completed in 1968. The new auditorium seats 1,000 persons and with the new nursery mothers can attend church while their children are being cared for.

One of the main goals of the University Church of Christ is to create an atmosphere where University of Alabama students can receive a Christian education on a state college campus.

Mr. Kenneth Reed serves as minister for the University Church of Christ, which he helped establish in 1954.

Under his leadership the church and student center have acquired property and built facilities next to the campus valued at $800,000. Thousands of individuals and dozens of congregations have cooperated together in order to make this one of the most dynamic works for the Lord in the 20th Century.

Mr. Reed is a native of the state of Kansas. His wife is the former Betty Catherine White of Tuscaloosa, Alabama. They have three children: Donna, Ginger, and Kenneth."
