Our History

In 1931, the First Apostolic Church began in a tent meeting on Bank Street in Akron, Ohio. From there, the church moved multiple locations in Akron as the congregation grew; and in 1969, under the leadership of Pastor Frank Poling, we became FAC Tallmadge holding our first service in our current location.
 
In 2016, we broke ground yet again to expand at 199 South Avenue. Under the current leadership of Pastor Ken Bulgrin, FAC built the new building with a vision and desire to serve more people of the community. We officially celebrated the opening of our new building in 2018.
