SHARING THE HEART OF JESUS FROM THE HEART OF AKRON

Welcome to Akron First UMC

Here faith, community, and purpose come together in the heart of our village. As part of The United Methodist Church, we embrace a life shaped by open hearts, open minds, and open doors, living out the denomination’s call to love boldly, serve joyfully, and lead courageously.

At Akron First, that vision becomes personal as we seek to share the heart of Jesus from the heart of Akron — worshiping with gratitude, caring for our neighbors, and helping people discover hope and belonging. We’re glad you’re here, and we invite you to journey with us.

Children's Sunday School

Children's Sunday School

Children gather weekly for their own kind of spiritual growth. Together with friends, they learn the stories of the Bible through crafts, games and fun activities.

Children are welcome to attend worship service at 9am with you and leave for Sunday School after the Children’s moment. Or, drop your children off for the fun at 9am and join us for worship or enjoy a coffee in the Fellowship Hall.

Sundays 9-10am. Classroom is in the Education wing upstairs.

Adult Bible Study

Sundays at 10:20 - 11:00am

Each Sunday after worship, adults are invited to gather for a relaxed and welcoming Bible Study. We share fellowship, explore a variety of studies throughout the year, including seasonal topics, and enjoy lively, meaningful discussion that helps us grow in faith together.

Whether you’re new to Bible study or have been part of one for years, there’s a place for your questions, your insights, and your voice. Come join us as we learn, connect, and deepen our walk with Christ.
