Assessment

Grace Church Akron is one of the largest Grace Brethren congregations in northeast Ohio, a multi-campus Charis Fellowship congregation with Senior Pastor Jeff Bogue at the main Akron campus and Tony Livigni at the Medina, Ohio campus. The Charis Fellowship — renamed in 2017 from Fellowship of Grace Brethren Churches — holds dispensational evangelical-Anabaptist theology, complementarian, biblically inerrantist. For a northeast-Ohio man wanting a doctrinally stable Grace Brethren church with multi-campus reach and a long-tenured senior pastor, Grace Church Akron is one of the larger options in the Charis Fellowship orbit. Verify exact street address (multi-campus) and contemporary-worship preferences with the church.
