Welcome to Grace Evangelical Lutheran Church of Akron, Ohio. We are members of God's family in Christ; in whose presence we are united by faith and worship. We desire to hear God's word preached in all its purity and to receive His sacraments in the church's traditional Lutheran Liturgy. We seek God's love through His only begotten Son, Jesus Christ; that we might extend this Love to all who will hear and receive it to the forgiveness of sins.
We are dedicated to Christian instruction in accord with the confessional standards of the Evangelical Lutheran Church, LCMS.
And we invite all who desire this fellowship and the fostering of God's love, to visit us and to join us every Lord's Day as we receive gracious forgiveness, eternal life, and every blessing of God in Christ with his church.
Sunday morning (9:15 a.m.) Bible Study and coffee: We gather a bit earlier with mugs in hand (coffee provided). Greeting each other in the Lord, we dig into the theology of the assigned Readings for the mornings Service and associated Scripture texts. This is an excellent preparation for being doers and hearers of the Word in the Divine Service about to be celebrated.
Wednesday evening(7:00 p.m.) Conversation and Inquiry; Christian belief & practice: We refresh our faith delving deeply into the reasons Christians (Lutherans) believe and do what they do. This is an excellent opportunity to invite and bring along a friend or family member who have questions about the Christian faith and the churchs worship, as well as differences existing in broader Christendom or even among the congregations of our Synod.
