Worship together and “Disciple” all week!

We offer worship in person, live via Zoom (links below with church details) and recorded services are posted each week. You can watch the message only found at the bottom of our worship pages. You can listen to the latest message via SermonByPhone at 814-422-6238. Through the week, dig deeper into the Bible on our facebook pages (links with the church details below). Read the Pastor’s eNotes. We offer short term online Bible studies during Lent and Advent and other opportunities for spiritual growth to be announced with our weekly announcements.

This Sunday…

Week 3 of 3: Falling Upward: How to Rise from Disappointment with Dignity – Ever fallen so hard you thought you couldn’t get back up? This week’s message is all about what happens after the fall, and how God meets us there. From Elijah’s cave of despair to Peter’s breakfast of grace, we discover that God doesn’t discard us after failure, He restores us. Through Scripture, John Wesley’s wisdom, and C.S. Lewis’s insight, we learn that grace makes room for growth and that the church is built not on perfection, but on persistence. Join us and learn how to rise from disappointment with dignity and how Jesus uses failure as the foundation for faithfulness.
