Wayside Chapel

Wayside Chapel began in 1963 under the Lord’s direction and a mission to reach Bucyrus, Crawford County, the surrounding communities, and the world with the gospel of Jesus Christ. That mission still exists today as Wayside Chapel desires to grow in the grace and knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ as we upwardly worship Christ, inwardly love and care for Christ’s people, and outwardly share the good news of the gospel of Jesus Christ to the glory of God. Wayside Chapel is a friendly, non-denominational church that by God’s grace and work encourages each member and attender to be committed to Christ (Col. 2:6-7), eager for the Word (1 Pet. 2:2), reliant on God’s work (1 Cor. 3:5-9), edified by fellowship (Eph. 4:11-16), inspired to worship (Rev. 5:11-14), passionate to serve (Gal. 6:9-10), diligent in prayer (Col. 1:9-14), and motivated for outreach (Matt. 9:36-38). We preach and teach the Word of God unashamedly, worship Christ in spirit and in truth corporately, provide spiritual nourishment for all ages, administer the two ordinances of baptism and the Lord’s Supper, and support missions and missionaries both locally and globally. Since 1973 Wayside Chapel has ministered to our local community by providing quality Christian education through Wayside Christian School. With classes for K4-12th grade, WCS exists to assist families in the equipping of their children to achieve academic excellence, to make biblically based decisions, and to exemplify and serve Christ.
