MESSAGE FROM OUR PASTORS
It is with great pleasure that we welcome you to our website. We encourage you to take some time to explore our ministry, and we also welcome you to visit us in person.

We are a growing, vibrant, full-gospel church located in the heart of Central Pennsylvania. It is our desire to see people of all ages come to know Jesus Christ as their personal Savior and be established in kingdom principles. We believe that Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today, and forever. We have been privileged to see God's miraculous power heal, deliver, and set free the sick and oppressed.
We are excited about God's plans for Lock Haven, Clinton County. One of our deepest passions is to also support and bless missions around the world. Please join us as we help spread the gospel of Jesus Christ.
And we also have an exciting news update to share:
Since the spring of 2010; we have begun quite a renovation process in our old 1870's church building. We are hoping by the end of this year to have our Sunday morning church services in a newly renovated upstairs sanctuary. Over the last several months, we have had to replace the steep roofs, as well as do a lot of electrical work, install more bathrooms, and begin work on new flooring and lighting for the upstairs sanctuary and balcony. We are very excited about this growing project, and also look forward to preserving the wonderful history of this church building.
Love,
Pastors John and Lynn
