Located in quaint Middleport, Ohio, our church is community minded. We believe that history comes alive as visitors enter the beautiful sanctuary, which was built during the 1800’s. Of special notice are the multiple-colored stained glass windows and the antique pipe organ that was delivered by riverboat down the Ohio River. Worshiping in this environment, everyone can almost sense the hand of God during services.
As a church, we desire to serve the multiple needs of our community, and we welcome visitors to worship with us. The visitors who attend will feel as though they have been accepted into a family of those who regularly attend the services.
Our congregation believes that all people are children of God; therefore, everyone is welcome to participate in the rites of Holy Communion, which is celebrated on the first Sunday of every month and on special Sundays throughout the year.
Because we realize that today’s families face many new and complex problems both within the family and in the world, our church offers fresh Bible-based preaching in today’s language relating to these issues and concerns. As a church, we try to reach out to those in need and offer more than mere words. We attempt to find solutions to allow people to once again be independent and become the best they can be.
Our church facilities offer many possibilities for community functions, and we strive to host at least one event each quarter for the good of the community. These events give us an opportunity to reach out to embrace our neighbors. We also welcome any and all suggestions on how we can better serve the local community as part of our responsibility to God and to our neighbors.
Realizing that many people are unable to regularly attend church services for a variety of reasons, our church is planning to develop online Bible studies and prayer groups. Our ministry is ongoing because people who have needs and concerns are constantly facing life’s challenges beyond services on Sunday mornings.
If you have been searching for answers to some of life’s questions, you are welcome to visit our church anytime. We pray that you will find a church family ready to welcome you to God’s house.
