FREEFIELD CHURCH OF CHRIST
The Freefield Church of Christ was organized about 1910 and the first building was located on land given by Rance and Dorcas Robertson and the Pat James Family. The church is located on Pat James Road a short distance frome State Line, MS. The original name was Fairfield Church of Christ but an error in spelling some where along the way resulted in the name being Freefield Church of Christ.
The founding pastor was Bro. Watson from Tennessee. The church met first in homes and then a meetinghouse of sawed lumber was built. using gas lanterns for light. Now a very nice concrete building has been built at the same location. Until the present building was built no electricity or plumbing were available. The present location has aircondtioning, comfortable pews, and fans located in the ceilings.
