Nashville Church of Christ (NCOC) is a growing, Christ-centered family focused on one simple mission: Love God. Love Others. Live for Christ. In a small town of just 186 people, God is doing something big—gathering more than 230+ people each week who are committed to following Jesus and doing life together. We’re especially passionate about young families and the next generation. On any given Sunday, our building is full of life—from a busy nursery and Pre-K with 18+ little ones, to 30+ elementary kids, 40+ junior and senior high students, and a growing community of 30+ young adults. Kids aren’t just attending church here—they’re known, discipled, and deeply loved. At NCOC, relationships matter. We believe faith grows best in community—across generations and seasons of life.

Our church is located in Big Prairie, Ohio, in the heart of Ohio Amish Country, a community known for its slower pace, strong values, and close-knit feel. Families here benefit from excellent local schools, safe neighborhoods, and a place where kids can still grow up with room to run and roots to build. Just minutes away is Mohican State Park, one of Ohio’s most beautiful outdoor destinations—offering hiking trails, scenic overlooks, camping, canoeing on the Mohican River, and year-round family adventures. It’s a setting that naturally encourages connection, reflection, and time together.
