GREAT CONEWAGO PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH.ORG
We can be found in historic Hunterstown, PA (Est. 1740).
Our street address is 174 Red Bridge Road, Gettysburg, PA 17325.
We welcome all visitors to our service of worship each Sunday morning, and to invite you to enjoy the educational and social events of our church family. We are a member congregation of The Presbyterian Church (USA), and faithfully embrace the Reformed and Presbyterian tenets derived from the Reformation and summed up in the preamble of A Brief Statement of Faith:
“In life and death we belong to God. Through the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, the love of God, and the communion of the Holy Spirit, we trust the one triune God, the Holy One of Israel, whom alone we worship and serve.”
|
In that spirit, we are glad to respond to questions about the spiritual life of our faith community, our history, and to requests for prayer and assistance.
Public Welcome!
May we Suggest you check back often!
