In the early 1930’s there was one Church of Christ in the area, the Broad Street church in Phenix City, Alabama. With the size of Columbus it was felt there needed to be a church of Christ in the city. In 1930, Floyd Decker came to Columbus and held a protracted tent meeting for six weeks. During that time six people obeyed the Gospel and Christians that were in the area joined with these brethren to begin the Rose Hill church. A building on 32nd Street between 11th and 12th Avenue was rented and then a year later a building was purchased on Hamilton Road and 23rd St. A baptistery was added and a basement was dug by hand by the brethren for classrooms. From 1930 – 1936 different men came each Sunday to preach and in 1936 J.H. Hinds from Shelbyville, Tennessee came to be the first full-time worker.

In January 1941 a group left Rose Hill to begin a downtown congregation and became the Waverly Avenue church. Later they moved to Warm Springs Road and this congregation is still active in Columbus. In 1951 the congregation felt a need for another local work and purchased property on Norris Road. In 1953 a building was erected and a number of brethren from Rose Hill began a new work. This group eventually became what is now known as the Edgewood church. Members from Rose Hill, Norris Road and Phenix City began a work in South Columbus near what used to be the Traffic Circle on Victory Drive. They began meeting in 1958. This congregation is no longer in existence.

After meeting in the Rose Hill area of the city for almost 60 years the congregation decided to move to where the city was growing. They bought land in the north part of the city on Old Moon Road (then Moon Road) in 1976. A building was completed and the first service was held September 8, 1986. At that time Jerry Accetura was the local preacher. In November 1987 David & Carol Spiece moved with their young son from Calgary, Alberta, Canada to begin working with the Rose Hill church. He continues to work with the church. In August 2001 Fred Liggin IV began working with the Rose Hill church as an associate minister/youth minister. During his stay he began a work at Columbus State University that is known as Cougars for Christ. After four years with the Rose Hill church he began working full-time in this ministry. Aaron & Jennifer Sparks came from Grand Rapids, Michigan and joined the Rose Hill family in September 2005 in the capacity of Youth Minister.

During the years Rose Hill has been instrumental in starting churches in the area and has steadily grown in both number and strength. At present the congregation is around 300 (including children) and has an active youth and college ministry.
