Grace Church | Greater Akron Ohio, Medina East Campus

Join us for this message as we pause, look back, and reflect on all that God has done in our lives and in the life of our church in 2025.

We all long for a leader who won’t let us down. History is full of people who started strong but ultimately fell short. Even Israel’s greatest kings—Saul, David, and Solomon—couldn’t give people what they most needed. Their lives were shadows pointing to something more. At Christmas, we celebrate that the true King has come. It’s more than a sentimental story—it’s the arrival of God’s promised Kin...

We often believe we know what will bring a better life—trusting in leaders, institutions, or our own efforts to mend what’s broken. Yet, time and again, these hopes fall short. The story of Israel’s first kings—Saul, David, and Solomon—captures the hope and heartbreak of human leadership. Each begins with great potential but stumbles in failure, mirroring our own shortcomings and revealing our dee...

Fourth Service: Why?—exploring how adding a service is less about space and more about faith.

Marriage is more than a commitment between two people; it’s a picture of Christ and His Church. Strong marriages build strong families, churches, and communities, and they shape the faith of the next generation. In this series, we’ll explore how Christ is the foundation for thriving marriages, why that picture matters, and how to make marriage a top priority.

God is moving in powerful ways through the Next Generation, and we’re called to be part of it. This service will refresh our heartbeat for investing in young lives and celebrate what God is already doing. It’s our turn to pass on the good news about Jesus generationally and relationally. 

The Book of Ruth shows that God is at work in the seemingly mundane, everyday events of the lives of His people. He works through tragedy, faithfulness, obedience, and generosity. Every person in the Book of Ruth faces life’s normal challenges and finds that God is using every detail to weave a story of redemption. The story encourages us to view our day-to-day lives as part of God’s bigger plan f...
