Welcome to our website. It is our hope that you will find the information helpful and that you might choose to participate in our Sunday morning worship services. Our reason for being on the Internet is two fold...first we would like to keep our members informed of the happenings within the congregation and secondly, we want to extend a welcome to anyone who might be searching for warm fellowship. Please come and visit us often. We would enjoy getting to know you better and invite you to join hands with us as we worship together.



Our church is located in a rural setting and easy to find at the intersection of Royal and Forney Roads, approximately four miles from both Annville and Lebanon. If you need someone to talk to, pray with or are looking for a place to worship, please come and bring your family. We invite you to join us and walk with us. We aim to grow in the love, grace and knowledge of Jesus Christ and to build up and equip God's people to do His work.

For detailed directions please call our church office at 717-274-1521.


Natan Pierce, MDV, officially assumed the position of Lead Pastor on December 14th. Natan, his wife Melissa and nine year old daughter Hannah come to us from Philadelphia. He is a graduate from Biblical Theological Seminary, Hatfield, PA.

Natan, who is a Christian Jew and has adopted the Mennonite faith says:
"I am on the journey with the Mennonite faith, simply because I believe the Mennonite church has the best answers for the 21st century regarding Biblical peacemaking. (Matthew 5:9) We need to bring the message of Jesus to all- and show the world that Jesus is the answer for Peace- not our president, nor our political structure."

    Amsterdam


    Bob and Mim Phillips are serving in Amsterdam. God is using them to bring the Good News to non-Christians and to be a support/encouragment to the local church. In a recent message they talk about the challenges they face...

    "Amsterdam has 734,000 people from 170 different nationalities. About 46% are immigrants. There is a high proportion of young adults, 25-39 years old, and relatively few children, teenagers, and elderly. There are about 400,000 households in the city. One third of adult Amsterdammers are single. The vast majority of working people have a job in the service sector. Amsterdam has the characteristic massiveness, heterogeneity, mobility and complexity of all big cities, but the added dimension of the charm of its history (canals, windmills, art museums) and the tragedy of its permissiveness (open prostitution and drugs).

    Only about 3% of Amsterdammers attend a church; more than half are Roman Catholic; more than half are African immigrants. Most of the few remaining protestant congregations are very elderly and theologically very liberal. There ARE 'on-fire Christians' here, but very few."

    Bob and Mim are on the verge of grandparenthood as their daughter Joy and her husband Henk look forward to their first child. Please send a note of encouragement and let them know you are praying for them and the work in Amsterdam. You can send them E-Mail by clicking on their picture above.
