First Congregational Church of Akron unconditionally affirms all people as we live out our call to follow Jesus Christ and his teaching of inclusive love. We welcome people of every race, age, nationality, gender identity and expression, sexual orientation, family circumstance, socio-economic status, physical and mental ability, or spiritual background. We invite all who are seeking God’s presence in their lives to participate fully in our church life, ministry, and leadership. We strive to be a safe place, free from the fear of judgment, where wounds can heal, differences are cherished. We are an Open and Affirming congregation, dually affiliated with the United Church of Christ and the Natl Assoc of Congregational Christian Churches.
