Our services and meetings are open to all visitors. We are much like Methodist, Lutheran, and other traditional church services.
People come in street casual clothes, and some men wear slacks and sport coats, while women wear pantsuits, dresses, or slacks and blouses. Our church leadership is locally elected from the membership. Even the pastor is selected by the congregation from qualified nominees with advanced studies Masters Degree in Bible, church and theology.
Our worship follows a traditional style with favorite hymns, times for prayer and the study of Holy Scripture. Videos of worship services are available. Special services happen at Easter, Christmas, Memorial Day, and other days. Holy Communion is celebrated each month and on special Christian calendar days.
Our history connects to the great church reformation of the 1600s in Scotland and across Europe. Church leaders like John Knox, John Calvin, Martin Luther and others, wanted worship and Christian life to be focused on Bible teaching, and for the people to understand and worship in their own languages and not just in Latin.
Thus the Bible and worship services were translated and presented in the local languages for people to easily understand.

We are a historic and evangelical church established in Pataskala in 1837 ~ sharing the redeeming grace of the Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.
A summary of Christian belief is called the Apostles' Creed, and used in worship by most churches throughout history. This outlines key Bible truths for the understanding of all.
APOSTLES CREED in modern English
I believe in God the Father Almighty, Maker of heaven and earth, and in Jesus Christ his only Son our Lord; who was conceived by the Holy Spirit, born of the Virgin Mary, suffered under Pontius Pilate, was crucified, dead, and buried; he descended into death. The third day He rose again from the dead; He ascended into heaven, and sits at the right hand of God the Father Almighty; from there He shall come to judge the living and the dead. I believe in the Holy Spirit; the holy catholic* Church; the communion of saints; the forgiveness of sins; the resurrection of the body; and the life everlasting. Amen.
* term “catholic” means God’s mercy extends through the work of the church to all peoples in the world.
