We are a church made up of people, young and old, who believe the living Spirit of Christ is present in anyone, including you, and is dying to come out in the form of forgiveness, new life, and joy.
We are Akron's youngest-thinking church that also happens to be its oldest. We were founded in 1833 and today we continue to grow in Christ's love as well as membership.
