Divine Mercy Catholic Parish

Antwerp is located in the northwest corner of Paulding County.  St. Mary parish was organized in 1864 and the first church was built in 1867.  It was constructed of wood, forty-six feet long and twenty-six feet wide.  This building remained in use until 1901 when the present church was constructed.  The first pastoral residence was built in the early 1870s and the present brick residence was finished in 1911.  A parish school was opened in 1915 but was discontinued in 1913 due to meager finances and the small number of children.  The school building today is used as the parish hall. The history of the parish and the history of the Wabash Canal are closely connected.  The canal brought Catholic families into the district of the Black Swamp: German, Irish and French.

This parish is one of the oldest parishes in Paulding County and the Mother parish of many of the surrounding churches which were started originally as missions of Antwerp, St. Mary.On July 1, 2008 St. Mary’s Parish, as well as the other parishes in the county were suppressed and Divine Mercy Catholic Parish of Paulding County was established.  This next chapter of our story is only now beginning to be written.

First United Presbyterian Church

126 West River St Antwerp, Ohio

Antwerp First United Presbyterian Church is a close congregation of around 50 members who are committed to loving and serving the Lord Jesus Christ.

Our faith is in Jesus Christ and the authority and truth of scripture.  We seek to uphold Christ’s teaching.  We believe that a personal relationship with Jesus Christ is essential to be saved.

Through study, prayer, fellowship and serving, the Holy Spirit enables us to be more like Christ.

Each week’s Sunday worship service starts at 10am and is a blend of contemporary praise & worship songs and traditional hymns.  The service includes scripture readings, teaching, and an emphasis on prayer.   We also have a weekly children’s message during our service, followed by Children’s church.

Come dressed casually, pull up a pew, and get comfortable.  There are no dress codes or assigned seats here, just family joined together in worship and praise of our Savior!

We look forward to worshiping with you and your family!
