A Look Back to the Past, continued Revolving Cross In 1918 George A. Campbell began his 20-year pastorate at Union Avenue. In 1921 Oreon Scott gave Union Avenue Christian Church a revolving cross that reached above the belfry and became a symbol to the city of our commitment to the Christian faith. By 1922 the membership had grown to 1,259 members and an endowment fund was established to secure the church's future. In 1926 Our Church, UACC's newsletter, was begun. In 1927 Chalres Lindbergh flew the Atlantic in the Spirit of St. Louis and UACC retired its debt. In 1928 a group of deaf people prevailed upon our church to be their church home. As the "Silent Bereans," many deaf members have been instrumental in the life of Union Avenue. In 1932 there were 1,760 members and 700 registered in the church school. Sunday school continues to this day as a crucial and integral part of our church program. The year 1938 brough Hampton Adams as our spiritual leader. Dr. Campbell wrote about Dr. Adams' coming, prophetically describing future ministers: "Although he has convictions that hold him to the hightest, he also has an open mind hospitable to good people of all communions and to the truth of God wherever found." Adams served until 1954. more
