Welcome to our Congregation and our Worship! 
We believe that Jesus Christ came to reveal the fullness of God's love for us, and we continue to celebrate that love through praise, sacraments, service, and community.

Would you like to meet the newest staff member at State College Presbyterian Church, Ms. Allison Maus?  Come to the Young at Heart dinner and program on Friday, Oct. 19.  A 2018 graduate of Princeton Theological Seminary with a Master of Divinity in Theology degree, Allison will share her pathway to SCPC where she works with the College Age Fellowship and Young Adult Ministry (CAYAM) groups and also serves as the staff liaison for the Spiritual Formation Ministry Unit. Join us as we welcome Allison and learn more about her role at SCPC.

At Dick’s request, memorial funds will be used to purchase woodworking equipment with upgraded safety features making them safe for campers to use. The specific tools Dick requested will cost approximately $7,000.
 
Kevin Lloyd of Big Springs Spirits will be donating 10% of all sales from the evening to the Dick Killam Krislund Memorial Fund, and donations can be made at the event as well. (Checks should be written to Krislund Camp with “Dick Killam” in the memo.)
 
We hope that you will join us to honor Dick’s life and continue his legacy
at Krislund.
