HISTORY OF EBC
In 1970, Eagleville Bible Church sprang from the remnants of a Congregational church and those who remained made a strategic shift to become independent and Bible-based. Over the years, the lonely pews found company in people seeking simple truth and honest friendships. The church had its ups and downs in the first twenty years but ended those two decades of her history far stronger and further along than when they first stepped out in faith.
Eagleville’s third full-time pastor, Bill McMinn, started ministering in 1990 with a heart to teach truth from God’s Word in a relevant way. Back then, everyone could comfortably fit into the Eagleville sanctuary during one service, but that changed over time. The church added a second worship service and steadily grew and in 2001, a third worship service was added.
Chris Christian started as associate pastor of youth and worship in June of 2002. We continued to meet at our Eagleville location until in the spring of 2004 when arrangements were made to use the Ashtabula County Expo Center where two Sunday morning worship services were held weekly.
By February of 2006, we had grown enough to add a third pastor, Dave Black, to oversee the areas of evangelism and discipleship.
On May 17th of 2009, we officially moved into our new building facility located at the corner of Route 45 and Fobes Road in Rock Creek and continue to hold two Sunday worship services as well as a variety of other ministries for the whole family! (Please refer to the Ministry section of this website to learn about these ministries.) We welcome you to come and join us in this new chapter of service to our great God!
