So just who is Penn Forest Worship Center? We are a small Wesleyan congregation with a huge vision for the future, serving an even bigger God, dedicated to relentless pursuit of God and the people he loves. Our mission has five parts: reaching, uniting, growing, discovering and committing. No matter where you are in your walk with Christ, Penn Forest Worship Center has a spot just for you. We offer Sunday morning services and classes, as well as Wednesday night fellowship opportunities. Our ministries range from kids, youth and adult groups to scouting, supporting overseas missionaries and hosting church-wide activities.

Penn Forest Worship Center exists to reach non-believers, to unite them with Christians, help them grow in their faith, discover their gifts and see them become radically committed to Jesus Christ both in life and in death.

Relentless Pursuit of God and the people He loves.
