About Us...
History
Mayfair
had its beginning at this
location on April 13, 1958,
as the successor
to the Culbertson Heights
church which met at 1400 NE
13th Street.
Actually,
the
beginning
goes
back
to
the
first
congregation
of the church of
Christ in Oklahoma City
which
started in the old
courthouse.
Eventually, property was
purchased
at 10th and Francis, and a
building was
constructed. The
leadership
at 10th and Francis helped
establish the Culbertson
Heights
congregation
in 1937.
On
April 13,
1958,
approximately
200 people gathered for the
first worship service and
Bible classes.
The
main
auditorium
at
that time was the chapel
located at the west end of our
facilities.
Within
the
first year,
two morning
services
were regularly conducted
until growth demanded the
construction
of our 1300
seat
auditorium
in 1962.
Cled
Wallace and K.C.
Moser carried the
pulpit responsibilities at
Culbertson Heights
until John
H. Banister came in
September, 1938. George
Bailey
followed
Banister's
ten-year ministry in 1948
and remained until 1954.
Robert
Hawkins (1954-55)
and Reece
Bryant (1955-57)
served for the next three
years. Virgil
Bentley
came in 1957
and
remained ten years.
He
was succeeded by Virgil
R.
Trout
in January, 1968 and Virgil
R. Trout was succeeded
by Darrel
G. Rickard,
who
started
his work in July, 1979 with
Mayfair until 1996.
Darrel
Rickard was
succeeded by Tom
Bedichek until the
spring of 1999 and Dr. Gary
Grady from the Fall
of 1999 to March, 2006.
We were fortunate to
have Seth McDowell
and Gayland Geiger
as our pulpit
ministers for an interim
period until the end of
2010.
Mayfair
was excited to welcome Randy
Johns as our Preaching
minister April,
2011. Mayfair
is blessed to
have
Guy Ross as
our Ministerial Elder,
Laura
Lathrop as our
Children's Outreach
and Education
Minister, Gina
Clay as our Children's
Family
and Education
Minister and Jared
Chambers as our Youth
Minister.
