About Us

Akron Gospel Hall
2705 Smith Rd
Akron, OH 44333

Welcome! We are a group of Christians who meet together for worship, prayer, and Bible study. In addition, we are active in Sunday School and spreading the Gospel of Jesus Christ.

We desire to provide a warm and spiritual atmosphere in which you can find eternal and lasting peace through faith in Jesus Christ. For those who are believers, we encourage spiritual development and growth through Bible study and teaching.

We place great value on families. The future of children is vitally important to us; we strive to supply relevant moral training and spiritual guidance for young people.

You and your family are cordially invited to attend our services. They are conducted in an orderly fashion with reverence for God. No public collections or appeals for funds are ever made.

The Lord’s Supper

We gather as a local church, claiming the promise of the Lord Jesus (Matthew 18:20) promising to be in our midst. The most significant meeting of the church is the one the Lord introduced before his death; He told His disciples to remember Him by partaking of bread and wine as symbols of His body and blood.

Following the teaching of the Lord and the example of the Apostles, we meet weekly to remember the Lord Jesus and His death for us. The first hour of the meeting is for worship and congregational singing. Without pre-arrangement, the meeting is open for men in church fellowship to stand and lead the congregation in praise and worship of Christ for his person and work at the cross.

The Sunday School

Sunday School is taught in the lower level of the Hall. Young people from ages 3 to 16 are the focus of this program. After a time of group singing and activities, the children are divided into classes where they are taught a broad range of stories and principles from the Bible.

Our teachers also sponsor several special events throughout the year, including the annual Sunday School picnic.

The Bible Teaching Hour

This meeting is held in the main auditorium concurrent with the Sunday School. It is for adult Bible teaching and preaching. Two speakers present a variety of doctrinal and practical themes designed to teach and encourage Biblical principles and values.

The Gospel Meeting

The gospel we preach is that "Christ died for our sins according to the Scriptures; and that He was buried, and that He rose again the third day" (1 Corinthians 15:3-4).

At the gospel meeting, held in the main auditorium, two men speak from a variety of Bible texts. After a time of congregational singing, they present a clear message about God’s way of salvation.

In this meeting we emphasize the Bible’s call to repent from sin and personally accept Jesus Christ as Savior and Lord. And since this is an individual matter, no "altar calls" are ever held; personal conversation however, is always available should you desire it.

The Prayer Meeting and Bible Study

This meeting is divided into two equal sections; the first for prayer and the latter for systematic Bible study. The Bible study is opened by an overview of the topic or chapter, followed by a detailed discussion.
