About
History
The origin of Church Square was not an accident. Shortly after Cuyahoga Falls was founded in 1836, city founders followed the New England custom of creating a commons--public land devoted to use by churches, schools and government. The square of land they selected was bordered by Portage Trail, Stow Avenue, Second and Third Streets. As churches began to locate there in the 1800s, the name Church Square was born.
Legacy
Church Square of Cuyahoga Falls is built upon a partnership between three congregations, representing four Christian denominations. Together, we are reimagining ways in which the land, facilities and membership of three churches can function in unity to better meet the needs of the community. Church Square aims to build on the vision of our forebears so that we might continue to serve our neighbors and work toward the thriving of all people.
Vision
It is our aim to participate in the spiritual, civic, and economic betterment of the greater Cuyahoga Falls community. The modern Church Square looks to bring a historic legacy to life in the present and cement a hopeful future.
