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.

We exist to... LOVE GOD  |  LOVE OTHERS  |  LIVE FOR CHRIST

We do this by: 

• GATHERING: Come to church
  
• GROUPING:  Who are you connecting with?
  
• GIVING: How can we use our time, talents, and treasures for God's glory
  
• GOING:  We are not called to sit and wait but to go and engage
  
• GUIDING:  Raise up leaders

What's NCOC's Personality?  

• YOUTH & FAMILIES!   We have an amazing children's ministry that would not be expected in a little town like ours.  
• MEN...RISE UP! We believe a gap in our world has been created because men are not rising up to walk worthy.  We embrace the strength and power we find in Christ as we grow to lead our church, family and communities to build God's kingdom here in Big Prairie, OH. We have a TrailLife Troop that we would expect the new Associate to be heavily involved in.  
• COMMUNITY: We are not only a welcoming church but we gather together well and often.  Most of our events include food, some crazy chaos, and being outside.
