The Lima Street Church of God is part of the church of God, which is the body of Christ.

Church of God retreats are administered in the form of Camp meetings. The meetings are opportunites to worship God and fellowship other Christians. 

All ages are welcome to attend.

Campmeetings are held in various places. Some of the camp meetings that individuals from our congregation generally attend are listed below:

White Pine, Tennessee campgrounds

Haiti

Bro Nathan Dieudonne labors in Dumay, Haiti. He oversees many congregations in Haiti and supports the Church of God in the Dominican Republic.

Ministries include an annual convention, annual minister's training, and a variety of ministries for clean drinking water and elementary education.

Kenya
Bro Anniel Njeru hosts several camp meetings per year in Embu, Kenya.

The Lord has been blessing the efforts, and souls are gathering in the unity of the Spirit.

Philippines

Bro Jesus Granil oversees many congregations and campmeetings in the Philippines. The Lord is blessing the labors there to encourage saints to press on.

In the early 1960's a group of people in Findlay wanted to start a congregation that would allow for fellowship among Christians who upheld the Bible doctrines of holiness and unity. They began worshipping in a home. Sister Grace Henry, author of the book Highways and Hedges (about Sister E. Faith Stewart's labors), was the first pastor. God blessed the effort, and soon there were over one hundered people attending. Below are some quick facts and pictures of the pastors and families.
