East Oberlin Church Aided in Building Eight Years Ago
The East Oberlin Community Church began in rural Oberlin area about two miles from town on the Oberlin Elyria road. Oberlin Congregationalists started a Sunday School in the East Russia School House, an effort tried for decades. President Henry Churchill King once taught there, but previous efforts failed until renewed in 1928 by George Smith and Mr and Mrs BK.

Non-Denominational East Oberlin Church Progress and Plans
Gifts from friends and fellow members funded a building near the schoolhouse in Oberlin with five hundred dollars annual pledges for five years from the United Church, plus a twenty five hundred dollar loan and grant from the Congregational Church Building Society. By January 1931 the structure neared completion, services held weekly, and joint programs with Kipton and Pittsfield Churches featured notable professors and ministers. The church operates non denominationally, welcomes all aged twelve and up, and serves as a social hub though final tower work remains unfinished due to funds.
