Church of Our Saviour is a congregation in Akron's West Hill neighborhood that is home to just over 200 people. Most Sundays, between 80-100 people attend church. We are young, old, gay, straight, partnered, single, parents and not. Some of us were born Episcopalians, and others of us never heard of such a thing before we got here. We are best known for our active outreach ministry in our neighborhood and beyond, our vigorous lay leadership, and our early and radical welcome to lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender people.

The Rev. Debra Bennett is the rector of Church of Our Saviour.
