First Friends Church Canton Ohio Reviews

Great people. Very nice and comfortable decoration and clean. I enjoyed myself very much.

Great Church always with a message , but The most important is that is a church with a mission ! They do great altruism . You will have the best Time ever.

Great church, we attend the activities and couldn't be more happy!

Bar None this is the standard for how the western church should conduct itself. The staff are humble, the senior pastor and associate pastor are two of maybe 7 Godly men I have ever met. Truly Godly men. That is saying something. The fact that the congregation has held together since the 1970s is testament to the fact that things that RUIN other churches have not touched First Friends. Unfettered by Nepotism, Greed, and the like. Sound doctrine is preached. Families are truly nurtured and cared for. A true reflection of Christ in his people. Thank God for First Friends church.

Wonderful church and people i thank God for their help

The people are very nice an very very helpful,im blessed to have come arcossed them....

Just had a blast with my family at our churches community fun day. I was very surprised to see how many people showed up. This proves that God is Good our parking lot, and fields were full of cars. Thank you Father for providing us with such a blissful day.

Arts Academy is a blast, I always have fun and the teachers are really energetic.

Built around 2002. Nice congregation. Casual dress. Services and classes for all. Variety of church related activities during the week. Church is held in the gymnasium.

Been going here 2 months so far been a huge safe zone for me. Love the people there and volunteering in library. Feels like home to me and have some awesome friends that go there and jist been great for me in rough time and knowing God is with me and will get me through and blessings.

Very good Christian church the pastor is very musically inclined which I can relate to very well since music is the international language of the world

Super fun i got to play soccer here! The sports program is really good. Great place to get your kids into sports! Most of the sports played here are co-ed so they will make lots of friends!

Went for the Pricilla Shirer simulcast. It was awesome. Tge women hosting it were very kind and amazing.

I was very surprised by the athletic department held here at this church, I would say at the least that I am hardly able to recognize that it is a church based athletic organization. Most people firmly believe that you can not say anything negative about a church and how some things are carried out, however I was blessed with a freedom to speak freely and I am! I watched my wife work as a referee within this church league and be taunted and harassed nonetheless for being a female in a predominantly male field. She was harassed by spectators and other referees, the issue was handled mildly and those individuals were allowed back for her to have to face over and over. It just so happened that I could no longer take anymore of this blatant disrespect and I had an outburst, in which Ryan called my wife and told her I was not allowed back INDEFINITELY! Mind you this is a church, I was never asked what happened. I was biasly judged 1. Because we are a gay couple 2. Prejudicly because at the time I was an angry African American whom was frustrated by the lack of anyone doing anything. Again I was never asked what happened, I was judged and told not to return. Had this same dedication to cast me out been reflected on the individuals whom taunted my wife I could be in complete understanding. As their would have been equal punishment for everyone. However, the purpose of church discipline is not to be mean-spirited or to display a holier-than-thou attitude. Rather, the goal of church discipline is the restoration of the individual to full fellowship with both God and other believers. The discipline is to start privately and gradually become more public. It is to be done in love toward the individual and in obedience to God. Instead I had the police called on me, they almost had me arrested for untruthfully telling the police that I physically assualted someone, and I was publicly humiliated during questioning. I will gladly keep my distance from this church and it s athletic department, I was judged on things that only God should have judged me for. I was taught that if you don t stand for something, You ll fall for anything! I stood up for what was right. I admit that it could have been handled better on my end, but seeing constant neglect by this organization to do something to protect my wife I acted out of outrage. I never felt welcome as a spectator or supporter. The Holier than Thou Attitude is definitely evident. I am no better than the next, and I am able to admit that. My flaws are mine, not anyone else s to belittle. My prayers are for the athletic department and for the betterment of the church to put more effort into making sure that it s being run to bring fellowship and not to seek people out for their differences, race, gender, or sexual orientation.

Great sports program. Quality teaching of the Word and presence of Holy Spirit.

Friendly staff and very clean. Anyone welcome with no judgement been with them 20 years

First friends is an awesome church and pastor Stan Kershaw is a great pastor and a great muscian. I love all the pastors and all the people are awesome members of the church.

One of a kind church. I'm not a regular church attender here but have visited several times and always the people are friendly and welcoming. Great sport program!

Great place to worship and so many activities for all ages. From volleyball to connect groups you will find something to do and connect with others.

Their soccer program is designed to help the children learn the game in a healthy competitive atmosphere

My hubby plays bball there. Seems like a very nice place
