Our History
Founded in 1936, Tick Ridge Free Will Baptist Church has faithfully served the Wheelersburg, Ohio community for nearly a century. What began as a small country church with a heart for sharing the Gospel of Jesus Christ has grown into a multi-generational congregation rooted in Bible-based teaching, worship, and community outreach. From humble beginnings on Tick Ridge Road, our church has stood as a spiritual foundation in Southern Ohio, proclaiming the good news, nurturing generations of believers, and equipping families to grow in their faith. Through the decades, we’ve remained committed to the mission of making disciples, strengthening Christian families, and bringing hope to all who walk through our doors.


Our Beliefs
Tick Ridge Free Will Baptist Church believes the Bible is God's inspired Word, the trinity is God in 3 parts: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, and that salvation comes only through repentance and faith in Jesus Christ. While we align with the Free Will Baptist denomination, what matters most to us is a personal relationship with Christ above denominational differences.
Our Mission
To love God, love people, & share the Good News of Jesus Christ in both word and action

We are committed to sharing the Gospel, regular teaching of God's Word, intentional discipleship, and faithful service to our community.
