History

On August 25, 1889, eleven Swedish immigrants became the pillars on which this church was founded. Through their faith, courage, dedication and service, the church grew in its service to God. Known then as "The Swedish Mission," they began the foundation which is now "First Covenant Church of Willoughby Hills."

In 1990, four acres of land for a new facility was acquired at Chardon and Rockefeller Roads in Willoughby Hills, Ohio. This is the location of our present church facility. The church was constructed to be completely handicap-accessible and allows seating for 200 people. The church hosts dinners, weddings and other group meetings as well as an adult Sunday School. Sunday Worship services are conducted with the accompaniment of a baby grand piano and occasionally our 75-year-old pipe organ. On August 25, 2019, the church celebrated its 130-year anniversary.
