Schuylkill Christian Church

Jesus calls us to ‘Go into ALL the World and tell everyone about His love and grace’.

We are real people who want to share in this life changing event with you. The church is

not a building…but a group of people who want to share the Gospel of Christ in a real world

that is not surrounded by walls. We want to surround the world with the love of Jesus Christ.

History of Schuylkill Christian Church

Schuylkill Christian Church has been in existence since 1983. Our first minister was Bob Hale, and it was his vision to start a New Testament church in Schuylkill County.  Our first meeting place was around a kitchen table in a home on Deiberts Valley Road. As we grew, the Masonic Lodge in Orwigsburg became available. We were there about 4 years, until we purchased the former Youth For Christ building at 44 Dock Street, Schuylkill Haven.  Bob Hale then returned to the Pittsburgh area, his home town, to take a pulpit at a larger church there. Since then we have had two ministers, and our current minister is Steve Letcavage. In May of 2011 we moved into our current location which is located on Pennsylvania Route 183 in Wayne Township across from the entrance to Lake Wynonah.

 

We are a growing church, including families with children ranging from preschool age through college. Our purpose statement is "to bring glory and honor to God the Father and to our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ."  Our congregation is an independent church, meaning we have no denominational name or organization. We hire and pay our own pastor/minister.
