Who We Are
Welcome to the Akron Gospel Hall. We are a group of Christians who meet together for worship, prayer, and Bible Study. In addition, we are active in Sunday School and adult evangelism outreaches. For nearly 100 years we have met as a local church to serve God and the community in this way.
What We Believe
We believe that the Bible is the living, unchanging Word of God. Every word is inspired by God. It is completely relevant and reliable and is sufficient to meet all our spiritual needs.
We believe that Jesus Christ is God and that He became a man in order to die on the cross as a substitute for sinners. He rose from the dead three days later, and today He is in Heaven at the Father's right hand.
We believe that mankind is born with a sinful nature. Our sin separates us from God and renders us helpless to save ourselves. Only through the death of Christ can we be cleansed and forgiven.
We believe that salvation is by grace through faith. Eternal life is found exclusively in the person and work of Jesus Christ. Reception of Christ as Savior and Lord is necessary if one is to be saved.
We believe that Heaven is the eternal home of the saved and Hell is the abode of the lost.

Description of Meetings
In the New Testament book of Acts, the pattern of the local Assembly of believers was on the first day of the week to claim the promise of the Lord Jesus to be in their midst (Matthew 18:20). Following the teaching of the Lord and the example of the Apostles, we meet weekly to remember the Lord Jesus and His death. This is carried out through worship and congregational singing. Without prearrangement, the meeting is open for those in church fellowship to lead the congregation in praise and worship of Christ for His person and work at the cross. The worship is followed by the taking of the bread and wine by members of the church in remembrance of his body given and blood shed for us (I Corinthians 11:26). All are most welcome to witness the church carry out this important ordinance that the Lord Jesus himself commanded.
This meeting is held in the main auditorium. It is for adult Bible teaching and preaching. A speaker preaches on a variety of Bible topics with a view to instructing, encouraging and strengthening believers.
Young people from ages 4 to young adult are the focus of this program. After a time of group singing and activities, the children are taught a broad range of stories and principles from the Bible in the main auditorium. Afterwards the young people (ages 4 to 18) breakout into classes for time with the teachers, verse, games & a snack.
In this meeting, one speaker presents a gospel message for all ages. The meaning of the word Gospel is Good News. We preach the Bible’s call to repent from sin and personally accept the Lord Jesus Christ as Savior and Lord. The Gospel is the greatest love story, how God so loved the world that He gave His Son to die for our sins so we can be forgiven and go to Heaven.
This meeting is divided into two equal sections; the first for prayer and the latter for systematic Bible study.
