The Old Paths Advocate is the third oldest paper among the churches of Christ. Only Firm Foundation and Gospel Advocate are older. The editors of the Old Paths Advocate (OPA) stood against all innovations in doctrine and practice – including instrumental music, Bible classes and individual communion cups.

In the beginning, the name of the paper was “The Truth” (1928), but name changed in 1932 to “Old Paths Advocate.”

The original owner and editor of the paper was brother Homer L. King. Brother Don King, the youngest child of brother Homer King, continues today as the owner and publisher of the paper. We hope you will enjoy reading through these “pages of the past.”
