Who we are
In response to God’s unconditional love and grace, the people of Faith Lutheran Church seek to follow Jesus’ commandment to love God, and to love our neighbor as ourselves. We express that love in our commitment to racial equity, and in our welcome of people of all ages, races, economic status, intellectual and physical abilities, sexual orientations, gender identities and expressions, along with their families and friends, to join with us as we worship God, grow in faith, and offer hope.
Our congregation celebrates our differences and strives to foster growth in faith by worshipping and learning together, supporting one another and serving those in need.

Leader Bio:
I was introduced to Faith Lutheran Church, Fairlawn, in 1986 when I was assigned to serve as intern, or vicar, at this congregation. That was during my third year as a seminary student at Trinity Lutheran Seminary in Columbus. This congregation was a good setting for learning hands-on ministry; when I returned as pastor 16 years later, I was welcomed by some familiar, and many new faces.
I came to Columbus in 1984 for seminary, having been raised in western Nebraska and having also spent time in the small towns of south east Nebraska where my grandparents had a farm. I went to college near Omaha, and after graduation worked as a newspaper editor for a few years. I also did a full year of Clinical Pastoral Education (CPE) – which was an unusual occurrence – at a Lutheran Hospital complex. That experience led me to respond to God’s call to ministry and head for Columbus.
After seminary graduation in 1988, I was assigned to the Northeastern Ohio Synod and have served in three calls since my ordination on Dec. 17, 1988: St. Paul Lutheran Church in Sharon Center, St. Luke Lutheran Community in North Canton and, in May 2002, I was fortunate to be called as pastor of Faith Lutheran Church in Fairlawn.
These years of ministry have passed quickly; my usual response when asked, “How are things going at church?” is, “There is never a dull moment.” And that’s certainly the case; ministry is never completed and there is always a new challenge to face or vision to pursue.
In the midst of it all, I have been blessed by the faithfulness, commitment and compassion of God’s people, for which I am thankful, and which I look forward to continuing as the future unfolds.

Faith Lutheran Church ELCA History
Over Sixty Years of Ministry
Faith Lutheran Church was founded in 1954 as the Fairlawn Lutheran Mission. The first worship service was on October 10, 1954 and the congregation was officially organized in September, 1955.
A Setting For Ministry ... Milestone Events
The congregation's first property purchase was a parsonage, in 1956. The first unit of the building at 2726 W. Market Street in Fairlawn, which is now the Fellowship Hall and kitchen, was completed in 1960; the second education unit in 1963 and the third unit comprising the sanctuary in 1969.
Remodeling of the Fellowship Hall and kitchen area was completed in 1997. In that same year a contemporary service was begun. The 2B Transformed Building Project which added a Welcome Center, Kichenette, Restrooms and Youth Ministry Area was completed in 2014 and dedicated in 2015. That same year (2014) there were major projects to rennovate and enhance the Schantz Pipe organ, and add techonolgy upgrades to the Fellowship Hall.
Furthering Faith Lutheran Church's mission "to go to all people and make them disciples of Jesus Christ"
In 2015 Faith Lutheran Church and St. John/St. Paul Lutheran Church, 282 W. Bowery St. in Akron, combined their ministries. The final worship service at the SJ/SP location was on July 12, 2015. The St. John/St. Paul Endowment Fund will be a resource for outreach ministry within the congregation, and beyond, thus continuing the SJ/SP legacy.
So Much More
Pages could be written about the people and ministries of Faith Lutheran Church since 1955; each decade brought new vision, challenges and reasons to celebrate. We rejoice that God's power and presence has been, and is, present always!
