First United Methodist Church, Akron
The First United Methodist Church was established in 1830, and began spreading the faith in God among scholars during Sunday School classes. The two previous churches were destroyed by fire and by electrical short-circuiting respectively. The congregation decided to re-affirm itself as a downtown congregation and to build their residence in the same place. The new erected church features a combination of contemporary and traditional architecture.
