How it all started...
Bible Baptist Church was planted in Tuscarawas County in September of 2013 as an independent Baptist church by the First Baptist Church of Jackson with a mission to glorify God, make disciples and reach the whole world for Jesus Christ!
Although we were thinking we might begin meeting in a school or in a local community space, God had bigger plans. And, He was faithful to lead us to some vacant space within the Monroe Mall on the border of Dover and New Philadelphia near the Dover YMCA.

Expanding the vision...
In 2015, we expanded our Sanctuary and remodeled our nursery and toddler space to meet our growing membership and regular attenders. There was no vacancy at that time wtihin the mall, so we acquired additional space across the street in the Monroe Plaza for the youth ministry to have their own place and for Bible Institute meetings.
More space needed...
In the fall of 2018, God led us to acquire an additional 3,500 square feet of space within the mall to expand our children classrooms, youth ministry area, and much needed space for fellowship and gatherings.
What a blessing it has been to be able to accomplish more for God's glory with the extra space!

Where we are headed...
We are so excited to be a part of God's plan to reach the world for Jesus Christ. And, we get excited when God continues to bring new faces and families to our church!
Although we are praying for the possibility of God providing us with land and our own building some day soon, we are so thankful for the blessings God has shown toward us and the opportunities that we have to be a light to our community and to the world from Tuscarawas County.
