In 1909, the Christian Women's Board of Missions, composed of members from the various Christian Churches in Topeka, established a Bible School known as Auburndale Mission.  This Bible School was maintained for about three years, and then R.C. Harding organized a small church known as Auburndale Christian Church. 

In 1914, Evangelist Clara H Hazelrigg became pastor of the church and the church grew in membership.  Under her leadership a stone basement was completed at the corner of Duane and Lindenwood.  On June 21, 1916, the name of the church was changed to West Side Christian Church.

In 1923, four lots were purchased at 6th and Lindenwood and the cornerstone for a new building was laid on October 7, 1923.  This new building was dedicated on May 4, 1924, and served as the meeting place of the congregation until 1959. 

Through the years the work of West Side Christian Church progressed and on February 22, 1959, the congregation moved into the new Education Unit.  This unit contains approximately 12,000 square feet.  The old building was razed in April 1959.

On February 28, 1965 a groundbreaking service for a new sanctuary and office unit was held on the site of the old sanctuary.  This unit was dedicated on March 6, 1966.  It contains a sanctuary which seats 314 persons, three offices, a choir room, sacristy, and baptismal dressing rooms.
