Ohio's Smallest Church

It was cute and so small and came with a 90 minute free DVD of Rev. Bob preaching from October, 2009.

Ohio's Smallest Church

Real church - a place of worship. Not sure if any services are held. Small building has lighting, pews, guest registry, donation box. Open always.

On the rainy day we stopped the door was slightly difficult to open. We thought it was locked. But another "tourist" leaving stated the door was sticky and to give it a push.

This Tiny Church contains a rather nice crucifixion painting and a pulpit probably not intended for photo ops -- but who can resist?
