Parish Background

The Presentation of Our Lord Church is named for the day when Joseph and Mary brought Our Lord to the Temple on the fortieth day of His earthly life.  Presentation is the first and oldest Orthodox parish in the Akron and Summit County area.  We were founded in 1914 on Akron’s south side, and Fairlawn became our home in 1972.

Our community was begun by Orthodox immigrants from what is now Romania, although today our parishioners represent ethnic origins from four continents.  We’re a warm, friendly and growing parish sharing the love, peace, and joy of the risen Christ.

100th anniversary of Presentation of Our Lord Church marks a century of Orthodoxy in Akron

The 100th anniversary of The Presentation of Our Lord Orthodox Church represents 100 years of Orthodoxy in the Akron area.

The church, at 3365 Ridgewood Road in Fairlawn, was the first Orthodox Christian parish founded in Akron and is the oldest, continuing Orthodox presence in Summit County. It was established in 1914 by 48 immigrants from present-day Romania on Akron’s south side. The congregation constructed its first church building on Getz Street and moved to its current location in 1972.

The celebration of the centennial began in September 2013, including a special celebration in February to mark the feast day of the Presentation of the Lord. It will conclude next weekend with a formal greeting of Bishop Irineu Duvlea, auxiliary bishop of the Jackson, Mich.-based Romanian Orthodox Episcopate of America at 4:30 p.m. Vespers will begin after the greeting and a semiformal dance is from 7 to 10 p.m. on Oct. 18.

On Oct. 19., a special morning service (called Matins) begins at 9 a.m., with a Hierarchical Divine Liturgy at 10 a.m. The day will end with an anniversary banquet.

Tickets for the dance are $10 and are available at the door. For more information about the local church, go to http://presentationchurch.org or call 330-666-8055.

Catholic or Protestant?

The Orthodox Church is neither Roman Catholic nor Protestant. It is the Church of Jesus Christ, founded on the Day of Pentecost, as recorded in the Book of the Acts of the Apostles. For two thousand years, the Church has weathered the storm of human history, holding fast to the faith and teachings of Jesus Christ and His Apostles. The Presentation family is descended from that long, unbroken, unswerving witness to the Gospel. “The Presentation of Our Lord” parish is named for the day when Joseph and Mary brought Jesus to the temple to be dedicated to God according to Jewish tradition.

Orthodox Christian immigrants from Romania founded our parish in 1914, on Akron’s south side. We moved to Fairlawn in 1972.

Locally, our parish is led by the Very Reverend Father Ian G. Pac-Urar, Reverend Father Wayne Paul Wright and a Parish Council that administers our programs and finances. Fellowship groups provide special programs and activities for specific ages and interests. Sunday morning and occasional Christian Education programs serve children and adults of all ages through the year.

We’re a small, loving community of worshipers with a very important message to share: the peace, love and joy of Our risen Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ!
