About Us
Our History
The story of the Chino Church of Christ is rooted in faith, perseverance, and a vision for serving the community. Long before a congregation was established in Chino, Christian families such as the Orem, Laton, and Ades families were helping build the first Church of Christ presence in the Chino Valley as early as 1906. Their commitment to God planted seeds that would bear fruit for generations.
1952
A Congregation in Chino
That vision became a reality in 1952 when seventeen faithful members began meeting in the East Side Thimble Club building in Chino. With a desire to establish a strong local congregation, they laid the foundation for a church that continues to serve the community today.
1955 – 1960
Building a Home
In 1955, construction began on the congregation’s first permanent campus at Central Avenue and Walnut Street. The first building seated 225 people, and in 1960 a six-classroom educational building was added to support the growing ministry. In those early years, the congregation relied on local talent and dedicated part-time ministers, demonstrating a spirit of service and sacrifice that still characterizes our church family.
Today

Today, the Chino Church of Christ continues that legacy from its current home at 11940 Telephone Avenue, Chino, California 91710, conveniently located one block north of the corner of Philadelphia Street and Telephone Avenue.
