The Ripley Church (Greenwich, Ohio) – Pastor
The Big Picture
“We are not simply seeking someone to fill a position – we are prayerfully seeking the man God is preparing to shepherd His people at The Ripley Church.”
The Ripley Church is a rural, non-denominational church in north central Ohio celebrating more than 175 years of God’s faithfulness. The congregation consists of approximately 30–35 regular attenders representing multiple generations – while many are older adults, they are thankful for younger families whom God is bringing to the fellowship. Their desire is to glorify God by faithfully proclaiming His Word, making disciples, caring for one another, and reaching the community with the hope of the Gospel.
They long to see God grow The Ripley Church – both spiritually and numerically – as He brings new people to Himself and into their fellowship.
