Mission Statement

We believe our church has been called to make disciples by reaching out to our family, friends and others we meet in Wayne, the surrounding rural area, and anywhere we go.

We will strive to be a loving and safe place to gather, and pray that through our worship, music, preaching, outreach and fellowship, others will know God's love, come to believe, and answer his call.

I’ve been reading in Genesis lately, the story of Abraham and Sarah.  This began after having a conversation with a friend about how strange it feels to be sorting through and packing things even though we don’t know where we’re moving yet.  MORE

Canned Fruit Needed 

Canned fruit needed!!  During the month of May, we’d like to “fill the barrel” with canned meat!   

Instead of having a designated Sunday as “God’s Storehouse Sunday”, the Missions Committee has decided to have a monthly food drive of a specific needed food item to benefit God’s Storehouse.  Each month a new item will be featured.  Other donations are always welcome as well.

There is now a God’s Storehouse barrel near Rev. Betty’s office so that it’ll be easier for people using the ramp entrance to drop their offerings off.   There is a a barrel at the front entrance as well.

 Please contact Steve Ault, God’s Storehouse Coordinator, at 419-288-2015 with any questions.  †

Weather Cancellations

Let it snow!  Let it snow! . . . But if it gets too bad, will we cancel church?  The policy adopted in 1999 by Administrative Board is that church will be cancelled if the condition of the building, walkways or parking lot is unsafe.  (i.e., no electric, no heat, ice covered/dangers, etc.)  The Administrative Board Chair, Pastor, Trustee Chair and Winter Groundskeeper would confer and make the decision to close at which time the appropriate radio and T.V. stations would be contacted.

In case of bad weather, unsafe driving conditions and/or snow emergencies, we trust that people will use good sense in making a decision about coming to church.  †
