About

Believing the Bible to be our final authority for faith and Christian living, we affirm the following:

That the universe is the purposeful creation of a personal, loving, almighty God.
That all human beings are made in the image of the Creator and are of infinite worth.
That our world is under the sway of sin as a result of a historical and a personal human rebellion against God, so that suffering, death and separation from God are the experience of humankind; and that without the intervention of God's grace, this will be the eternal state of all persons.
That Jesus Christ, the incarnate Son of God, through His virgin birth, sinless life, sacrificial death on the Cross, and glorious resurrection and ascension, graciously offers new life to all who receive Him by faith.
That the Holy Spirit, indwelling believers, gives them a desire and an ability to follow biblical standards of conduct in their personal lives and in society.
That the Christian faith is lived in the community of the church, where worship and witness are embodied through the spiritual gifts of its members.
That Jesus Christ will return to this world, bring an end to history as we know it, inaugurate the final judgment, and welcome believers into his eternal kingdom.

We have been enjoying a creative and interesting approach to worship whereby we carefully select and sing along with traditional hymns with new upbeat settings as well as meaningful contemporary worship songs, with the assistance of an online music website.

We also have a few musicians who have formed a worship team that leads us in singing a variety of hymns and choruses.

We love to sing and have a lot of enthusiasm for worship in a truly Spirit filled environment.

"God Moments" are shared each week about how God is working in and through our lives as we pray for one another. At the end of the service the pastor prays at the altar with anyone who comes forward with a special need.

The pastor's sermons are clearly based on the Bible with practical applications to our daily life,

How about coming out and being a part of an exciting chapter in the life of Christ Evangelical's rejoicing saints of God?!!!

Our Denominational Affiliation
Christ Evangelical Church is one of approximately 135 congregations of The Evangelical Congregational Church located in the United States. Found mostly in central and eastern Pennsylvania, the EC denomination dates back to the early 1800’s when Jacob Albright, a Pennsylvania-German farmer and tile-maker from Lancaster County, and also a Class Leader in a local Methodist Church, responded to a call from God to preach. A difference of opinion with a Methodist Bishop over the longevity of the use of German as a viable language led to Albright’s eventual establishment of far-flung preaching circuits among German-speaking immigrants in many counties of south central Pennsylvania.

In relatively short time God blessed the spread of “Albright’s People” far and wide, and a new denomination known as “The Evangelical Association” was born. Approximately two hundred years later, the EC Church has congregations, in addition to the many in central and eastern PA, in western PA, New Jersey, Maryland, Delaware, Ohio, Illinois, and Kentucky. There is huge block of EC Churches (more than 400) in northeast India, several in Japan, as well as, missions in Liberia, Mexico, and Nepal. We also have several missionaries serving under the direction of many other missionary agencies.
