Our Story

How our story started...

With a desire to build a family-friendly, bible-believing church that can meet the challenges of life today without abandoning timeless values that have proven their worth, a handful of people believed church could be done differently, intentionally. 

After many long days and nights of cleaning, painting, and remodeling, mixed with love, laughter, anticipation, and prayer - Shelby Center Church just south of beautiful, historic Medina, NY opened her doors. 

Expanding the vision...

An old abandoned church building and adjacent schoolhouse has been brought to life through the commitment of a small group of believers.

One family, couple, and individual at a time we're seeking to make the gospel visible, accessible, and enjoyable in compelling multi-generational community.

As we gather we grow without the pressure of performance or rigid conformance, living the biblical positions with gracious and generous dispositions.

Church is satisfying when it is smaller, simpler, and without all the stress! It's pastoral guidance, personal and spiritual growth, friends in person, opportunities to share your spiritual giftings, and worshipping God with others.

Where we are headed...

There are great people and a great need in the Medina, Shelby Center, and surrounding area. There's great need for Jesus' love to be revealed, known, shared, and received, and for generations to worship together again.

There's great opportunity to engage in neighborly love, caring community, helps projects, and special events to make the gospel visible and accessible.

And with our small church there's great opportunity for you to join in our mission and labor of love to make the church grow where we're planted.
