About First Church Of God Ministries
First Church of God Ministries in Defiance, Ohio has been serving the community since 1906, when the Burdine and Pace families began meeting for prayer and Bible study following a revival meeting. Now located at 561 Carter Road, the church welcomes visitors of all backgrounds, beliefs, and stages of faith on Sunday mornings at 10:00 AM for an inspiring yet informal worship experience. The congregation features a blended style of worship music and practical biblical teaching, with programs for children ages three through sixth grade in the Action Zone, nursery care for infants and toddlers, and a youth center called The Summit for teens. First Church emphasizes community acceptance, spiritual growth, and service both locally and globally, inviting newcomers to experience their welcoming environment and explore small groups, Bible studies, and mission opportunities.
