About Samdan Church
A church family rooted in Christ.
We worship Jesus, grow in God’s Word, walk together in faith, and serve Cleveland with love.
Who We Are
A family learning to follow Jesus together.
Samdan Church began as a Nepali-speaking Bhutanese Nepali Christian church family in Cleveland, Ohio. By God’s grace, we continue to grow as a Christ-centered church that welcomes people from every generation and background.
We believe the church is more than a Sunday gathering. It is a family of believers learning to worship God, love one another, teach the next generation, and witness to the hope of Jesus Christ in everyday life.
