1948 - Worshipping in Tent.
Groundbreaking for the present building was October 17th, 1948. The first service in the new building was the First Sunday of October 1949 with its dedication on December 4th of that year.

Grandview Church is the outgrowth of the merger in 1946 between the Evangelical Church and the United Brethren in Christ Church. With this merger there were, on Akron’s North Hill, two Evangelical United Brethren churches within a few blocks of each other.

Thirty-nine men, women and children of the former United Brethren Church, located at the corner of Dayton Street and Tallmadge Avenue, voted to come to this site to start a new mission in the midst of a large housing project known as Buena Vista Allotment.


Current Sanctuary (Dedicated 1967)
As the congregation grew, it was decided that a new Sanctuary and Fellowship Hall were needed, which were dedicated in September 1967.

With the merger of the Church and the Methodist Church in 1968 we became Grandview United Methodist Church.

Today we are a multi-ethnic and multi-generational faith community featuring American and Nepali-speaking Bhutanese cultures. Our mission is to experience the Blessings of Grandview: Grace-Growth-Gratitude. We invite you to experience them with us.
