In 2013, Jim and Angela McCourt were attending a missions conference at Liberty Baptist Church in Toledo. Jeremy Rowland (of Baptist Church Planting Ministry) gave a statistic that 14 churches die in America every day. It was then that Pastor Jim knew God's calling on his life was to plant a church. Under the direction and guidance of Liberty's pastor, Rick Rust [who is now with the Lord], they prayed, surveyed, and decided to plant in Oregon, Ohio. Oregon is a city of 20,000 people, who when surveyed, half of them stated they had no religious affiliation at all, no connection to God at all, no eternal life at all.

Three years later, in 2024, we sold that property to another new church plant, Bible Believers Baptist Church, and we moved back into Oregon. We purchased the old First Baptist Church of Oregon on Seaman Road, where we now call HOME!
