ABOUT NB4C
Pastor Charles Simmons founded New Bethany for Christ Church in March 2006 with a vision of a Christ-centered, non-denominational, multi-cultural assembly. Initially, services were held in his home and later at Third Street Baptist Church in Dayton, thanks to Pastor Robert Wackerman. We began hosting community events and collaborating with other local churches. Celebrating our first anniversary with Church on The Rock Ministries and holding significant revivals, the church saw steady growth. In 2008, services moved to Ohmer Park Methodist Church, fostering further growth and relationships. By 2012, New Bethany relocated to Trotwood, Ohio, continuing to thrive and serve as a testament to God's provision and faithfulness.
