CHURCH HISTORY RESEARCH IN PROGRESS (last updated on 12/15/2007):

  • CHURCH HISTORY BOOK -- The Douglas County Historical and Genealogical Society is currently collecting written histories and photos of the county's past and present churches with the plan to publish a CHURCH HISTORY BOOK in 2008.   For more information contact the Society's President, Sharon Sanders.  Church history survey forms and materials are to be mailed to the Douglas County Historical & Genealogical Society, P.O. Box 986, Ava, MO 65608.  Please click here to download the Society's survey form.  An Adobe Acrobat Reader is required to download the survey form.

  • CHURCH REFERENCE LIST -- The listing below is an early attempt to provide site users with a definitive list of current and historical churches.  The initial list has been provided by Sharon Sanders, President of the Douglas County Historical & Genealogical Society.  Please review the list, and if you have additional information or corrections to be list below, please send an email to Kristi Towe or Kenneth Brown.

  • STATEWIDE CHURCH MAPPING PROJECT -- Levi Boettler with the Geography Department of the University of Missouri is currently engaging in a project to map the location of the state's churches including those in Douglas County.  His project was an inspiration that caused us to assemble the church reference list below.
