This church is a beacon of hope, offering daily opportunities to serve Christ and change lives through community outreach, educational programs, and compassionate support services.

Our commitment goes beyond typical Sunday worship and our exciting pre-school program. We demonstrate compassion daily by organizing an annual 15,000 meal packing event, hosting a book sale, use of our church to vote and give blood, serving food at Lebanon County shelters, providing cleaning supplies for flood victims, knitting warm clothing, building homes and lives through compassionate partners, blessing family pets, dinner and a move nights, free coffee and conversation on Tuesday and Thursday, children’s Sunday school with faith filled adventures, reading and discussing books with others, all while encouraging everyone to use their talents to support our community.

Our doors are open to all, regardless of background or circumstance, because we believe that every person has a unique story and a special place in God’s vision. Through worship, fellowship, and active service, we strive to create a church rooted in love and acceptance. Here, lifelong friendships are formed as we walk together on our spiritual journeys, supporting one another in times of joy and in moments of need.

In a world where families are seeking Christ amid ever-changing and demanding lives, our church stands as a sanctuary—a place where everyone is welcomed, valued, and given the chance to experience Jesus' love, find solace, and be inspired to grow in faith.

We welcome and invite you to come join us for our worship services on Sunday at 9:00 am and 10:30 am. Whether you prefer band-led worship or a more traditional service, we offer both options. We would love to meet you – no pressure – just love. Our community is here to support and uplift you in a relaxed and loving environment.
