We are joining with Christ to transform Williamsport with the Gospel for the glory of God and the good of our city.

We see ourselves as a family of missionaries who love Jesus and love our city. We believe the church is meant to be the incarnated people of God in every neighborhood. Our desire is to see Christ's renewal in every corner of the greater Williamsport community.
