What to Expect

What are services like?
We love music. Hymns, Gospel, Classical, Modern. Our choirs are often accompanied by musicians from the Penn State School of Music. Our Director of Music, organists and pianists are very gifted. After the opening hymn and prayer we always take time to pass the peace of Christ to one another. The scriptures are read and the message proclaimed. In response to the word, we usually sing and prepare for a time of prayer, offering ourselves and our gifts to the God who gave us our salvation. The service ends with a closing hymn and blessings for the coming week.

What is the community like?
We try hard to be a warm and caring community. We have folks who have been members for over 50 years and some just wanting to know more about the Christian faith.

What if I'm not a Christian?
If you are not a Christian, you are still welcome to join our fellowship. It is our hope and prayer that you will come to know the love, peace, and joy of a relationship with Jesus through our life together. The pastors are always available to talk.
