Founded in 1921, Macedonia Baptist Church has been a beacon of faith, resilience, and community in Akron, Ohio. Our congregation has been blessed with dedicated leadership, with only four pastors over nearly 100 years, and the last two pastors shepherding our church through the past 66 years.
Under the current leadership of Pastor Lorenzo Glenn, who has served since 1988, we continue to grow in faith and purpose. Our church’s mission is simple yet profound: "We purpose by the aid of the Holy Spirit to win the lost to Christ, to disciple those we win by the word of God, and then send them out so that they may win others."
With a rich history of spiritual service and a heart for community outreach, Macedonia Baptist Church invites you to join us in our journey of faith, love, and service to others.
Pastor Lorenzo Glenn, a native of Akron, Ohio, has led Macedonia Baptist Church since 1988 with passion, dedication, and a heart for community. Married to his middle school sweetheart, Debra D. Jones Glenn, for over 43 years, they have raised two daughters, Candice and Diamond, both graduates of the University of Akron.
Pastor Glenn is a graduate of the Moody Bible Institute and has served as a chaplain for the Akron Police Department. He has also founded the Tuesday Noonday Lunch Program, initiated the Gospel singing group The Ultimate Choice, and is a respected revivalist, keynote speaker, and spiritual community organizer. His mission aligns deeply with Macedonia Baptist Church’s purpose, inspiring all to live out the Gospel in their everyday lives.
