          In 1818, a group of early settlers in the Western Reserve built a log church on the site of the present Town Hall in Bath, Ohio. Sixteen years later a new frame structure was built on the same spot. Over the years, this church was moved first to a hill overlooking Ira Road and then down to Ira Road. In 1949, the church was moved to its present site on West Bath Road. The Chapel of the present church is the original building, over 175 years old.
          In all these years this church has served this beautiful community in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ. Today it stands ready to answer the same calling. About 800 people are members of this warm fellowship; worshipping, studying, singing, and celebrating with one another. Through their giving, the church reaches out to the community around us and to the world through the mission activities of the United Church of Christ.
          The Bath Church has stressed an informed understanding of the Bible as its foundation. In the Fall of 1989, we began a five year study of the entire Bible, with classes on a weekly basis. This has encouraged further more in-depth study classes on Wednesday afternoons and evenings. Both teaching and preaching have been built on these themes. Our hope is that as we are more aware of the truth of the Bible, we may be able to reach out to others who thirst for this living water of the Christian Gospel.
          If you are interested in joining this lively fellowship, we welcome you. On this website is a listing of our activities. You will find something for all ages and all interests. Come be a part of the Christian love that we all share in The Bath Church.

The Vision to See…

·          The opportunity to impact generations for Jesus Christ

·          How God uses “temporal things” like sanctuaries constructed in 1834 and 2003-04 to manifest Himself to bring   about “eternal things”

The Faith to Believe…

·          That God has ordained this moment as “the time” to boldly move forward in seeking the financial support necessary to construct a new sanctuary and additional space for Christian Education, music ministries and community outreach

·          That this is a ministry worthy of our time, talent and treasure

The Courage to Act...

·          By making a prayerful and God-directed multi-year financial commitment

By recruiting and supporting a team of ambassadors responsible for visiting every member and attendees of The Bath Church Family in order to share the vision of “Room to Worship, Serve and Grow”
