On March 5, 1950, a new congregation came into existence at the corner of 9th and Clay Avenue. It was named the Clay Avenue Church of Christ and was the only church of our Lord in south Waco.

Clay Avenue was under the guidance of the Columbus Avenue Church of Christ. Wallace Gooch was the first minister. One hundred and sixty four Christians were charter members of the infant congregation. They met for two years at the 9th and Clay building. The congregation immediately became self-supporting.

The first Elders of the South Waco Congregation were Clyde Sharp, Eldon Hoard and Arvin Connor. After seven years as minister, Brother Gooch was succeeded by Flavil Colley. Other ministers of South Waco followed: Luke Shira, Charlie Tutor, Leo Schumert, Isaac Trayler, B.C. McCorley and Clay Mims. Brother Gooch returned to work with the congregation in October 1975 and remained as minister until his death in 1979. In 1980, Charlie Tutor returned as minister. In 1982, he was succeeded by Larry Thomason. The next ministers were: David Wallace, Bert Mercer, Mike Potts, Wayne Wiese and Lon Jones.
