Come Celebrate With Us for Our 45th Anniversary Season!

The United Church of Schellsburg was "born" on November 22, 1964. Throughout the fall, we will be celebrating our past and looking forward to the glorious future God has prepared for us as we strive to be faithful followers of Christ Jesus our Lord. We welcome all who seek a relationship with Christ in love, service, prayer, worship, and learning to join us for this season and beyond. Oh, and lest we forget: we have a LOT of fun, too!
