Our Story

On January 3. 1954, 23 members of the Church of Christ began to meet in the hall over Isaly's on the square in Louisville, Ohio. It was the first time a congregation of the New Testament Church had ever assembled in Louisville. The event was possible after Harry Smith, a man of great faith and foresight, and with permission from what was then the Walnut Avenue Church of Christ, found a hall and paid for the first month's rent. Three days later, the congregation began. The congregation grew and prospered as it continued to meet there. During this time, two lots were purchased at 6140 Louisville Street, and a basement structure was built.

Over the years the church continued to grow and a decision had to be made to either, update and expand the existing facility or to move and build at a new location. The latter was chosen. Because of a generous donation by a forever loving and loved family, land was purchased and our present facilities were built. And in June of 1997 our first worship service happened at 1520 California Ave.

 Our mission is to fulfill the Great Commission (Matthew 28:18-20) to the best of our ability, relying heavily on the work of the HOLY SPIRIT in our lives.

In a recent meeting with the shepherds/elders, Larry closed out in prayer by saying, "May we be worn out doing YOUR will." We have great hopes and dreams knowing that GOD is able to do among us, far more, than we can ask or imagine. To GOD be the glory.
