Our Story

Our story began in the early 1900s during a time of revival in the Tennessee Valley. In northern Chattanooga, a small group of devoted individuals gathered in homes and tents for prayer and worship. By July 1915, ten of them formally organized the North Chattanooga Church of God, known today as The Ministry Center.

From the beginning, The Ministry Center focused on reaching those without a personal relationship with God and building meaningful connections. Fueled by the life-changing message of the Gospel and a straightforward mission, the church flourished. Membership grew to over 400, and many members heard God’s call to go and serve. They answered by becoming church planters, pastors, evangelists, military chaplains, and missionaries.

The Ministry Center’s foundation remains rooted in its mission: to share the Gospel and empower people to live out their faith in service to others.

We cherish our rich heritage and eagerly look forward to a bright future. Our community is built on love and unity, driven by a deep commitment to reaching more lives for God’s Kingdom through worship, outreach, and missions. From local service projects to global initiatives, we embrace the call to make a difference wherever God leads. Experience the joy of a church where simplicity and freedom to seek God thrive through passionate worship, meaningful small groups, impactful service opportunities, and a heart for missions.
