Some members of the church began meeting in Enid as early as 1918, but meetings were sporadic. In 1922 the members began meeting again in the T.F. Grogan (Laverne Giles' parents) home. In January, 1923, eleven members began meeting at the Seventh Day Adventist building at Randolph and Quincy. The church was without any permanent leadership until Roy Daniel moved to Enid in 1925.
By 1931 there were about 25 members. On September 16th, 1934 two lots were purchased at Independence and Wabash. The deed was made to A.S. Groom, Roy Daniel, and their wives. On March 31st, 1937, construction on the new building began. The initial cost of the building was $3,272.50 for materials and $993.90 for labor. Considerable labor was donated by the church members. The first service in the new building was held on August 1st, 1937. An annex was added in 1941. In June, 1944, the congregation totaled 136 members and contributed to African missionary work as well as an orphan home in Morrilton, Arkansas.
The church in Waukomis began to meet in 1914; however, sometime around 1947 the remaining members of the Waukomis congregation joined with the Enid congregation. The Waukomis members included Marie Martin, Ruth and Dean Lovell, Martha McGrew, Stella Wilson, and Mr. Bess.
By 1951, the church was overflowing its facilities at Independence and Wabash with an attendance of about 225. Property was purchased at 729 E. Maine and a new building constructed. LaVerne Giles recalled "The new building was full on opening day with many visitors present and we wondered if we had built it large enough." Hoyt Bailey was the minister at that time.
In 1952 a small group of members re-purchased the property at Independence and Wabash. They continued meeting at that location until building a new church on West Broadway around 1958. The 8th and Maine congregation helped to pay for an additional lot for parking near the Broadway church. By December 1959, the financial burdens of the West Broadway church became too great and they asked the 8th and Maine congregation to send them enough members to take over the leadership, teaching, and financial obligations of the church. About 19 families went and with the few members there became one strong harmonious congregation. In 1965 they moved to 3601 Lahoma Road, now Owen K. Garriott Road, and became the Garriott Road Church of Christ.
In 1963, a two-story educational wing was added to the 729 E. Maine building. The auditorium was remodeled in 1970 and a complete new front for the building was constructed in 1975.
The congregation at 8th and Maine continued to prosper, and in 1984 land was purchased at 703 N. Garland Road. The new building was completed in 1986, and an education wing was added in 1989. The auditorium was enlarged again in 1991.
This cornerstone stands at the north entrance of the North Garland Church of Christ. The placard reads: "This cornerstone is from the building that was located at 729 East Maine. That building was erected in September 1951 and was used for the Glory of God till May 1985."
