Christians by our Name

     These are the legal names of our Church throughout the years as the congregation grew and transitioned:

(1863-1918)

First Reformed Church
(1918-1934)

First Evangelical and Reformed Church of Lima, Ohio
(1934-1963)

     Though the name of our building has changed many times on paper, in our hearts and souls the Church body has always been known as Believers in Christ!
