    Church FAQs


    • What can I expect from a United Methodist Church?

      As a United Methodist Church, we share many basic affirmations in common with all Christian communities. 


      These include what we believe about: 


      God. We believe in the Trinity, that God is revealed as three distinct persons in one. The Trinity is made of the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. 


      Jesus. We acknowledge and claim Jesus Christ as the authority in our lives. We believe that He was born of a virgin, and was both fully God and fully man. Jesus Christ was the human incarnation of God on Earth- the prophesied Chosen One who brought salvation to all people. Through the sacrifice of Jesus on the cross and His later resurrection, there is victory over sin and death. 


      The Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit is the presence of God present in the lives of the church, providing us with guidance, comfort, and strength. We believe that the touch of the Spirit is very personal, and that it is even more evident in the loving interactions of God's people.


      Human Beings. We believe that all human beings were created by God, in His own image. We can all choose to either accept or reject a personal relationship with God, but that relationship is necessary to be fully human. 


      The Church. The Church is the body of Christ, and it is our mission to make disciples for the transformation of the world. We are called to worship God, and to support those who are growing in faith. 


      The Bible. The writing of the 66 books of the Bible was inspired by God, and it is a sacred scripture. The Holy Spirit works through our study of Scripture, revealing God's truths to us. As a result, the Bible is the written authority for our Christian faith and practice. 

    • Can I request special prayer?

      Absolutely! All prayer requests go directly to our Pastor, whom is dedicated to praying for your needs. When you click the "Request Prayer" button in the bottom righthand corner of the screen, you will be directed to our prayer request form, where you can specify whether or not you would like your request to remain private, or if you would like for it to be made public so that more in the church may pray. You can even note the best method for a response, if you would like one. 

    • How can I make a donation?

      If you would like to make an online donation in support of our church ministries, you can do so quickly and securely through our donation portal  HERE!  You can also click the donate tap at the top of the page. If you would like, you also have the ability to set your donation as a monthly recurring gift. 


      If you would prefer to send in a check or physical donation, our church mailing address is 1140 Edgar Avenue, Chambersburg, PA 17201.
