About us

On August 29, 1928, with eight people present Pastor J. H. Bryant moved from Kentucky, and established the first Church of God of the Mountain Assembly, in Sidney, Ohio in a small storefront located in the 600 block of North Main Ave.

From its humble beginnings many great leaders such as R.D Litton, Earl Heath, Luther Gibson, John Ball, Glenn Rowe, Merl Laws, Ken Ellis, and Tim Bartee sacrificed to lead Northtowne and help it thrive. Moving from a storefront, to a small building on Sycamore St, to where it stands today on Wapakoneta Ave, Northtowne has been a staple in the city of Sidney and an influence to bring people to Christ and make an impact in the community and around the world.
