Our Vision is to be a central hub of Christian ministry in Lancaster County & beyond. 

Our Mission is to connect people to Jesus Christ & the church, 

to grow Christian disciples, and to relieve suffering.  


We are both Christ centered and people focused, scripturally and sacramentally

guided, prayerfully and missionally devoted, emotionally and intellectually engaged, tradition-honoring and innovatively creative, evangelistic and socially active, 

locally and globally involved.
