Our Church Profile:
Lee Heights Community Church grew out of a summer Bible School program called Gladstone Mennonite Mission.  The Mission began at Woodland and E. 55th streets in 1948.  Lee Heights was organized on September 29, 1957.  Vern Miller was the pastor of this 28-member church.  Groundbreaking for Lee Heights Community Church was August 17, 1958.  On August 2, 1959, the Gladstone Church and mission were closed and the members were received into the Lee Heights fellowship.  Gerald Hughes became co-pastor and music minister and remained music minister for more than 39 years, retiring in 1998.  Emeritus Pastor Verm Miller retired in 1993 after 36 years as pastor of Lee Heights Community Church.  Mrs. Helen Miller and Mrs. Annabelle Hughes, in support of their spouses, preached, taught Sunday School and Summer Bible School and tended to various ministries of the church throughout the years.

As a community church, Lee Heights has alwasy had a special relationship with the Lee Seville Community.  Members have developed effective community ministries which continue to be a blessing to those in need.

Lee Heights was established through the Ohio Mennonite Conference as an interracial, interdoniminational Community Church.  All who accept Jesus Christ as Savior and LORD of their life are welcome.  Worship services include aspects and traditions of the background of the diverse and gifted membership.  You will hear the Word of God spoken in reverence.  You will pray for yourself and others.  You will be challenged and blessed.

Lee Heights celebrated 50 years of service to our Lord in September, 2007.  Hallelujah!
