The original church met in the upstairs of the Wells Drug Store on the corner of Linden and Lee Streets in Zanesville, Ohio. After breaking away, its members began meeting in the I.O.O.F. Hall on Main Street on May 9, 1920. At that time, the church was called The Central Christian Church.  W.B. Hendershot was requested to serve as minister, during the next two years the congregation met in the Hall. W.D. Ward, then a field worker of the Ohio Christian Missionary Society, was present during this time and had full charge of organizing the church.

On February 18,1922 a lot was purchased at 1823 Maple Avenue for construction of a permanent building. On August 13, 1922 the church left the Odd Fellows Hall. While waiting for the construction of a frame building, they began meeting for worship and teaching in the home of H.L. Driggs at 1542 Maple Avenue, the current location of Tee Jays Restaurant.  After many struggles and delays, the frame building was finally completed.

Due to the need for expansion and growth in the summer of 1969, land was purchased at 1569 Bowers Lane for a future church site. Groundbreaking ceremonies were held in August of 1977 and the first worship services were held on Sunday, April 15, 1978 under the leadership of Frank C. Maple.

In April of 1984, our current Senior Minister, William L. Meaige, began his ministry here. By January 1993, with the generous support of our faithful members, the sanctuary was completely remodeled, with new carpet, paint, and pew upholstery and lighting systems.

1998 marked a grand chapter in the history of the North Terrace Church of Christ with the completion of a family life and worship center.  We are currently facing another challenge as we have outgrown our current eduuation space and have begun to formulate plans for an educational wing.

Praise God!  He continues to bless us immeasurably more than we could ever have asked or imagined!
