A Place for Worship A Place for Learning & Growing

A Place for Family & Friends A Place For You To Serve

Everyone wants to be connected to God. We come together weekly on Sunday at 10:45 am to sing to God, to talk to God, and to listen to Him through reading and studying the Bible. We provide a special children's worship and nursery for those who choose to use these groups for ages 8 yrs and younger.

Music is a dynamic expression of worship. Our choir, keyboard, vocalists and congregation combine traditional hymns of our faith with contemporary songs of praise to worship in an atmosphere that touches the heart and soul.

We believe prayer is one of the most powerful connections we have with God so on Sunday at 6:00 pm, we have a time for adults to share with one another the great things God has done and then pray together for needs in our community and around the world.

A Place For Learning & Growing

Our motto is: The Bible, The Whole Bible and Nothing but The Bible

It's important to connect God to our daily lives so we provide an informal teaching/discussion time on Sundays at 9:30 am called Sunday School. We have several classes for adults depending on age and/or interest. We have Sr. High and Jr. High classes for teens, and several age appropriate classes for children right down to providing for infants in our nursery. The weekly bulletin handed out in worship lists the current topics being studied. The Bible is a practical and relevant guide and we use it as the center of study in every topic from family and marriage to how to win friends and influence people. No matter what your interest there's a class for you.

Teens and children are important members of our church family. In addition to Sunday School we have the following:

Sunday 6:00 pm

Children - AWANA An hour and a half of creative activities that mix game time, Scripture memorization, Bible study, and time to make new friends.

F.R.O.G.s (Jr. High Fully Relying On God) Bible study, prayer and friends

Bible Quizzing for Sr. High teens. A motivational and challenging approach to studying books of the Bible.

Wednesday 7:00 pm

Teens need a break in the middle of the week. We provide a positive environment for fun, encouragement, and discussion on hot topics from a biblical perspective.

Other programs such as Summer church camps, retreats, and kids clubs are available at various times during the year.

A Place For Family & Friends

You will find a network of true loving friends at our church, whether you are single, married, young, or more mature. You will find encouragement and spiritual support.

Carry-in-dinners ... These meals bring real joy and friendship as we share together on special occasions.

Trips ... A few times each year we'll get together for fun or travel together and experience good Christian friendship.

Active Seniors ... Anyone over age 50 can enjoy our monthly meetings on Wednesday at 10:00 am. We enjoy good conversation, but also do ministry for others too. We are active.

Ladies ... Women sometimes need that time just for "the girls". Sometimes it's a several week Bible study, sometimes it's a holiday tea, sometimes it's a social, but it's always encouragement.

Men ... Our monthly men's fellowship breakfast is a great time for "the guys" to encourage and challenge each other spiritually.

Teens ... Are not just the church of tomorrow, in addition to what's already been mentioned the teens do practical ministries in the church and for older folks. They learn to Nurture their Abilities for Christ, (NAC), with teens from area Grace Brethren churches. Look for more details in the teen room or on the Youth webpage.

A Place For You To Serve

Truly, it is better to give than receive. We really believe that one of the greatest ways for anyone to grow spiritually is to be involved in ministering to others.

We have a number of ministry teams that serve the Lord and others. Some people are good with a hammer and screw driver. There's a place for you. You may enjoy singing or playing an instrument. There's a place for you. Some ministries are quiet, behind the scenes...preparing meals, helping people. Some are more up-front...teaching, discipling, visitation. If you have a gift, God wants to use you.

We are focused on Missions. The Fellowship of Grace Brethren churches has missions around the world and we stay connected with their work by praying and giving.

Our local mission is to be a spiritual lighthouse to the Lehigh Valley. Along with worship, teaching, ministry and prayer, we believe each member of Lehigh Valley Grace Brethren church is to live out the principles of Jesus and God's Word to help neighbors, friends and family find freedom and happiness through a relationship with Jesus Christ.

If you would like to know more, talk to our pastor or ask a friendly face on Sunday. This is a great family, and there's a place for you.
