How We See Ourselves

The Church of the Holy Spirit is called by God to be filled with the presence of Christ as we: Worship, Pray, Minister, Mature in Christ, and Fellowship.

...so that we may proclaim first to the city of Akron and then to others the new life Jesus Christ offers to all who turn to Him in faith, which includes: the forgiveness of sins, the power of the Holy Spirit, and kingdom life.

The specific ways that a member is called to live out God's vision:

• Worship of Christ on Sundays and throughout the week, alone and with others is a primary call for members of our church.

• Mission and Ministry means that a member will pray, give, and minister according to the giftings of the Spirit which they are given for the furthering of the vision and the building up of God's people.

• Teaching means that a member will seek to learn more about Jesus Christ and the new life He calls them to by  means of sermons, Basic Christianity, fellowship teachings, and additional opportunities .

• Prayer means that I recognize my total need, and the church's need for Jesus Christ's direction, power, and presence. As a result, a  member is in constant need of spending time with the Lord; listening to Him, and offering prayer in accord with His will for one's family, church, and self.

• Community means a member realizes that they are part of a larger whole and are called to grow in unity with other Christians. A member is thus called to a life of fellowship through Sunday services, ministry, and fellowship programs.
