The First United Methodist Church was established in 1830, and began spreading the faith in God among scholars during Sunday School classes.

The First Presbyterian Church can boast a rich historical and religious heritage. It was established in 1831 as First Presbyterian Church of Middlebury in Portage Township. The problem of slavery, which arose in the society in 1843, divided the church in two but in a short time the two parts reunited and in 1874, the church changed its name to First Presbyterian Church of Akron. The building which houses the present church was erected in 1904.
