Nottingham Baptist Church is a 115-year-old congregation of believers located in beautiful Willoughby Hills, Ohio. Our membership includes a variety of ages and family sizes. The activities and ministries at Nottingham represent a commitment to our purpose as a New Testament local church: glorifying God through worship, edification, and evangelism – all through the power and authority of the Word of God.
Worship Style: God’s Word and Biblical preaching is the focus of our services. We also have a strong music ministry: a small worship team and orchestra leads the congregation in a blend of traditional hymns and worship music, a choir sings regularly, and multiple gifted musicians provide live music ministry.
