The First Apostolic Church began services in a tent meeting on Bank St. in Akron, Ohio in 1931 under the leadership of Pastor Norman. The congregation built their first church building at 829 Home Avenue. After a few years of growth, the church relocated to 211 Seiberling Street under the leadership of Pastor Yoder and Pastor Lennington. In 1959, Frank Poling became Pastor of the assembly. Under the direction and vision of Pastor Frank Poling, the church thrived, and a few years later, the church purchased a property located at 199 South Avenue in Tallmadge, Ohio. In 1968, builders broke ground, our current facility was built, and in March of 1969, our first service in Tallmadge took place.



Throughout the years, FACT has maintained a burden for the community. Through the leadership of Pastor Poling, a bus ministry was born. From the North, South, East, and West, families would be transported to our services to hear the Word of the Lord. Evangelism, missions, giving, and pursuit of God propelled FACT forward, initiating revival and continuous growth. Through prayer and fasting, church members continually sought the face of God, creating an atmosphere for the miraculous.



The First Apostolic Church of Tallmadge was founded upon the truths of the Word of God. From the beginning, the Spirit-filled message of Acts 2:38 has been demonstrated in our services. Through repentance, water baptism in Jesus name, and in-filling of the Holy Spirit, many have received salvation and grown in their walk with the Lord. Preaching the same mesage, the church, under the leadership of Pastor Ken Bulgrin, continues to thrive today!
