In 1832, the effort to restore simple New Testament Christianity reached Hopkinsville, Kentucky. Sixteen members were enrolled at the start, and of these, Miles Grey, R. S. Dulin and S. W. Calloway were made elders. A building was purchased at the corner of Ninth and Liberty from the Unitarians and Cumberland Presbyterians who were too weak to maintain an organization at that time. The young church grew with amazing speed, and soon erected a larger and better brick building. This task was started in 1849 and completed for occupancy in 1851. They were first called reformers, later disciples, and finally adopted the name Christians.

In1885, a remnant of Christians, desiring to worship God according to the biblical teachings, left the church on Ninth Street when that congregation introduced instrumental music into the worship. The following Sunday, the small group met in the home of G. A. Hille on Jessup Avenue. In three years the congregation grew enough to fill all the rooms of the house. Brother Hille donated the property on Second Street facing Cleveland Avenue, and with the help of V. M. Metcalf, a building was erected. The church met in this building until 1922, at which time they moved to a new building on the comer of Seventh Street and Cleveland Avenue. Her members continued to meet there until February 1973. N. B. Hardemen preached the first sermon in the Seventh Street building.

From 1922 the congregation continued to grow and prosper. By the late1950's, two services were being conducted in order to accommodate all those who attended. Because of this, the elders felt a need for a second congregation in Hopkinsville. A building was constructed at 529 Country Club Lane and a new congregation (Southside Church of Christ) had its first meeting in January of 1960. C. W. Brannam preached the first sermon in the Southside building. Each congregation continued to grow and the building of the Seventh and Cleveland Church of Christ was filled again.

March 1972 saw the beginning of Westwood Church of Christ, located at 1402 West Seventh Street. The building was first occupied in July 1973. Delbert Carver preached the first sermon in the Westwood building. In December 1999, property was purchased at 5068 Eagle Way on the new bypass. Construction began on the new building and in October 2000 the first sermon was preached by Jerry Crunk.

The Eagle Way Congregation has always been active in missions. Currently, the congregation supports missionaries in Africa, Australia, Haiti, India, Guyana, Philippines, and Boulder Colorado.  Also some members of the congregation are involved in teaching the World Bible School correspondence courses.

The following preachers have worked full-time with the Seventh and Cleveland Church: John Hines, E. P. Watson, Charles Talley, John T. Smithson, Price Billingsly, J. P. Ezell, C. M. Campbell, T. J. Wagner, Elvis Huffard, Clyde Brannon, Charles Houser, C. W. Brannam, J. D. Hamilton, David Gaylor, Rhoden Presnell and Delbert Carver. Brother Carver continued at the new location at 1402 West Seventh Street followed by Joe C. Magee, Carl E. Goad, Danny Cleaver, Michael Ray and Jerry Crunk. Jerry Crunk continued to preach at the new location at 5068 Eagle Way. Carl Goad returned in April of 2009 and continued to minister to the congregation through the month of June 2012.  In July of 2012, John Voss became the minister of the Eagle Way congregation and continues as our current minister.

Photographs were taken when the church met at 7th and Cleveland in Hopkinsville. The black and white photographs appears to have been taken in 1961.
