We are Christians committed to faithfully teaching and living the will of God as taught in the Bible. We believe that without the knowledge of who God is and who we are, we cannot glorify Him and enjoy Him forever as we were originally created to do.
The final authority in at that we do at Grace Church is God's word, the Bible. We believe that the purpose of the Bible (from Genesis to Revelation) is to show how God redeems His people through the life and suffering of the promised redeemer, Jesus Christ. This understanding and our relationship with God through Jesus Christ is referred to "covenant theology." We share these commitments with the Orthodox Presbyterian Church, a conservative and Biblical Presbyterian family of churches. You can find out more about the OPC by investigating its website.
When you attend our worship service or our weekly Bible study, you’ll probably end up meeting this man, Pastor Larry Oldaker. Pastor Larry is the regional home missionary for The Presbytery of Ohio of the Orthodox Presbyterian Church and does the majority of teaching and preaching for us. He has been a regional home missionary since 2004 and works with other churches throughout western Pennsylvania, West Virginia, Kentucky, Indiana, and Ohio. Prior to his current position, Pastor Larry was the organizing pastor for Covenant OPC, in Mansfield, OH for 9 years. Pastor Larry is married to Kalynn, his wife of 30+ years, a father and friend of 4 grown sons, and grandpa to three little boys. Pastor Larry Oldaker can be reached by e-mail or phone at oldaker.1@opc.org (419) 564-2952.
