History of Castleberry
On Sunday, March 8, 1936, seventy-six people assembled at the Castleberry School House to worship together, and formed the Castleberry church of Christ. In May, 1936, the group purchased a lot at 5550 Baylor Street in Fort Worth and in August 1936 began constructing a building.

In September, 1936, the church began meeting in the building before it was completed; for a while, the building had only dirt floors. As the church grew in number and needed a larger building. In 1951, construction began on a building at
1025 Merritt Street, where the church still meets today. For several years, the church had two Sunday morning worship services to accommodate the large number.

By February 1959, the number had grown to the extent that some members decided
to start another local church, which today is the Westside church in Westworth Village.
Eighteen men have preached for Castleberry church since 1936 – F.T. Ervin; Charlie Robinson; T.R. Boley; Cleo E. Jones; Lewis Hogue; J.
