Christian Witness & Discipleship
At Christ Woodland United Methodist Church in Akron, Ohio, we believe that Christian witness is not only spoken—it is lived. Our lives are a reflection of the Gospel as we seek to follow Jesus Christ in all that we do.
As the saying goes, “Preach the Gospel at all times, and use words only when necessary.”
Witness Through Our Daily Lives
We witness to God through who we are as people of faith. This includes living authentically as followers of Christ in our families, workplaces, church, and community throughout Akron, Ohio.
Our witness is expressed by:
-
Showing up with integrity and authenticity
-
Living out Christian values in everyday life
-
Seeking what is good, just, and loving in all places
-
Serving others with humility and grace
Faith in Action in the Community
At Christ Woodland UMC, witnessing is not limited to words—it is active participation in God’s work in the world.
We strive to bring Christ’s love into our local community by being present, engaged, and faithful in all that we do.
Pointing to Jesus Christ in All We Do
Everything we do and everything we say is meant to point back to Jesus Christ. We believe Jesus is the full expression of God’s love—marked by grace, mercy, and compassion for all people. Our mission is to reflect that love in both word and action throughout Akron, Ohio and beyond.
A Life of Christian Witness and Discipleship
Witness is not a single act, but a lifelong way of living as disciples of Christ. At Christ Woodland United Methodist Church, we invite all people to grow in faith and reflect the love of Jesus in their daily lives.
