A church built around the Bible
You are welcome at Calvary.
We are an independent Baptist church that relies on God's Word for our foundation and direction. Our services are reverent and unhurried, with biblical preaching, traditional hymns, and time to worship together.
You do not need to know anyone before you come. Bring your family, take a seat, and let us know if we can help you find your way.

Meet our pastor
Dr. Jeffrey Smale
A lifetime of preaching the Bible and helping people grow in faith.
Pastor Smale trusted Christ as a child and surrendered to preach at age eighteen. He and his wife, Mollie, have served in local-church ministry for decades. Their family's work has included preaching, music, Christian education, and ministry to children and adults with special needs.
Pastor and Mrs. Smale would count it a privilege to meet you and your family this Sunday.

Growing and serving together.
Church is more than a weekly service. These are practical ways our congregation learns the Bible, shares the gospel, and cares for families in Akron.
Sunday School
Graded classes for children, young people, and adults make the Bible clear and useful for everyday life. Sunday School begins each week at 10:00 am.
Community Outreach
Every Saturday at 11:00 am, church members go into the community to share the gospel with neighbors who are willing to listen.
Bus Ministry
Transportation helps children and adults who would otherwise be unable to attend. Call the church if your family needs help getting to a service.
The most important question
What will you do with Jesus?
The Bible is honest about our sin, but it is also clear about God's love. Jesus Christ died for our sins and rose again. Salvation is not something we earn; it is God's gift to everyone who turns to Christ in faith.
Read John 3:16, Romans 3:23, Romans 5:8, Romans 6:23, and Romans 10:9–13. If you have questions about knowing Christ, we would be glad to open the Bible with you.
