With the leadership of the Rev. Dr. Nancy Jo Dederer and the dedication of its members, Circleville Presbyterian Church in Circleville, Ohio, shows that love is more than a word — it’s action, hope, and faith in practice.

Circleville Presbyterian goes beyond the walls of the church

In this video, you’ll see how members of Circleville Presbyterian Church use their own resources to change lives: building a brand-new home for a single mother, providing shelter for men who need a safe place to stay and serving hot meals to neighbors in need.

This church doesn’t ask whether you’re a member — members simply welcome you like family. In Circleville, the city may be small, but the heart of this church is pure gold.
