Warren, Ohio, is a small industrial city in northeast Ohio. In 1801, Warren  became the “capital” of Trumbull County which, at that time, included  the entire Connecticut Western Reserve.  Christ Episcopal Church, founded in 1836, subsequently became and continues to be an integral part of the city of Warren and its surrounding communities.  Warren’s history is rich and highly valued.

Warren played vast importance in the Women’s Suffrage Movement.  Harriet Taylor Upton, a Warren resident, worked with Susan B. Anthony as leaders of Ohio and national struggles for women’s right to vote.  Today, Harriet Upton House, deemed a National Historic Landmark, remains open and active in historical functions within Warren.  The city remains so dedicated to Harriet that a request was made to a Pasadena, Ca. Judge to have her remains returned to Warren and buried at her home site.  Not only was this request eventually granted, but the female judge hearing the case actually attended a burial service, returning Harriet to her homestead. 

Warren is an excellent location in which to live and raise a family.  The cost of living and housing in the region remains below state and national levels. The city maintains affordable and diverse neighborhoods and has access to a riverfront park system, superior restaurants and nightclubs, year-round festivals, and cultural events.   Northeast Ohio, coupled with western Pennsylvania and West Virginia, originated the  tradition of the wedding “cookie table”.  This was a result of a true “melting pot” of ethnicities and cultures moving to northeast Ohio in 1802 for jobs in the steel mills.  These new families used a cookie table as a method of establishing relationships and representing their homeland. The cookie table uniquely remains today in area weddings.  

One of Warren’s boastings is of Packard Music Hall, a nationally known venue for celebrity musicians and orator presentations, as well as seasonal concerts by the WD Packard Concert Band.    The National Packard Museum is on the same grounds and displays cars of the same name as it proudly describes the historic importance played by the Packard car.  Warren also offers breweries, coffee houses, water trails for kayaking, a Women’s Park, Western Reserve Greenway bike trail, Trumbull Country Club and Golf Course (within a mile from the church) and Avalon Golf Club and Resort, Ernie Hall Aviation Museum, and other historic sites.  The Warren Community Amphitheatre downtown offers a series of summer concerts - River Rock at the Amp- that delight multigenerational audiences.  Recently renovated as part of downtown Warren’s economic development projects, the Robins Theater, initially built in 1922, was used for both vaudeville shows and movie productions.  While closed from 1974-2017, the Downtown Development Group bought the theater in 2017  and restored it with much historical accuracy.  The Robins presents programs/concerts with comedians, nationally known musicians, musicals, and other community theater events.  Warren is frequently chosen to host the Ohio Fine Arts summer series known as Chautauqua.  Live actors portray themed historical figures over the week   Warren also houses the Mahoning Valley Scrappers, the Single A Affiliate of the Cleveland Guardians.
