Northwest Ohio Association United Church of Christ History

The churches in The Northwest Ohio Association have a rich and diverse history. All four of the main predecessor denominations of the United Church of Christ are represented here. The history includes German, Swiss, Welsh and Hungarian immigrants, as well as the Congregational migration from New England. These historical traditions remain apparent in some of our churches to this day.

June 25, 1957 United Church of Christ was formed.

October 25, 1963: Northwest Ohio Association of the Ohio Conference was created. Trinity Church in Tiffin was the place of this historic gathering bringing together 134 congregations from the Central North Association (CC), the Northwest Ohio Association (CC) and the Northwest Ohio Synod (E&R). Rev. Dr. Paul W. Kohler was elected the first Association Minister (1957-1976) and Rev. Paul Rohrbaugh was the first Association Moderator. A constitution was adopted and Tiffin was named as the location of the Association office. The original structural make up of the Conference was to be three staff persons for each Association. These included an Association Minister, a Director of Religious Education and a Minister for Parish Programs. The Association became aware of the difficulty in supporting three fulltime staff. Lucille Frost was initially hired as the Director of Religious Education. She was succeeded by Ralph Quellhorst who served as Minister for Parish Programs with an emphasis on Religious Education.

May 6-7, 1964 The first annual meeting of the Association was held at First Church, Lima.

1974-1977 The “Small Church Cluster Council” was initiated through a grant from UCBHM and generous donations of local churches in the Association. This ministry connected fifteen churches in Seneca and Wyandot Counties. Rev. Robert Haskins joined the staff as the full-time director. The “Small Church Cluster” continues to meet on a voluntary basis.

1977 Rev. Dr. Roger D. Perl came to serve as our Association Minister. They entered into a shared program staff configuration with the Ohio Conference. A staff person would work fifty percent for the Association and fifty percent for the Conference.

1979-1980 Asish Kumar Mondal, Church of South India served as Missionary in Residence. Asish brought gifts of spirituality, global perspective and scholarship to this enriching program.

1987 The Association purchased the office building at 416 Wentz St. in Tiffin. The capital campaign was supported by 100% of our churches.

1989 Rev. Martha Due was elected as the Associate Association Minister after the shared program staff design in the Ohio Conference ended.

1996 Rev. Dr. Roger Perl retired as our Association Minister. Rev. Martha Due became the Designated Association Minister.

1998-2000 The Association entered a Jubilee Discernment period under the leadership of Rev. Martha Due and Rev. Christine Boardman who was the designated Associate Association Minister. Rev. Barry Bordenkicher began serving as part-time Minister for Nurture and Development in 1999.

2000 - 2005 Rev. Char Burch came as our Interim Association Minister. The Association with assistance from the Center for Parish Development entered a visioning process. We are in the infancy stages of living into our new structure as " A Community of communities."

2005 - Present Rev. Daniel L. Busch was called as the Association Minister beginning November 1, 2005

Let me have all things, let me have nothing, I freely and heartily yield all things to Your pleasure and disposal. And now, O glorious and blessed God, Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, You are mine and I am Yours. So be it. Amen.
