Wayside Chapel was established in 1963 to present the Gospel to Crawford County and the city of Bucyrus. It is an independent, Bible teaching, Bible believing church, sending and supporting missionaries around the world.

Understanding the need for quality Christian education, the church established Wayside Christian School in 1973.

The goal of both the church and the school is to strengthen and establish families to serve the Lord.

The mission of Wayside Chapel is to glorify God by proclaiming the Bible, God’s revealed Word, in order to reach the lost for Christ and to encourage and equip believers to worship and serve Christ.
