About This Cause
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, and inclusivity is intentional. We commit ourselves to the struggle against injustice, discrimination, violence, and hatred, in order to foster a world of peace and wholeness. God loves you. Christ invites you. We embrace and celebrate you. First Church’s Vision Priorities Congregational Life: First Church is the largest, most vibrant and diverse church in Northeast Ohio, seeking Christ’s Spirit and advancing Christ’s justice. Community Development: First Church is recognized as the leading faith community partner for racial, social, and economic empowerment in Northeast Ohio. Food Justice: Every person in the region has access to healthy food choices, and food insecurity is reduced in the region. Our Core Values Acceptance: First Church seeks to be a safe place where all are welcomed regardless of human or social distinction. Having been accepted as we are, we are open to others. Spirituality: First Church seeks greater understanding and connection, individually and collectively, with God and with one another. Community: First Church seeks to unite individuals and families into a network of fellowship and compassion within the congregation and beyond. We view Family as a form of Community and Fellowship as an expression of Community.
