What is in Pencader Church's DNA? 

• We are a gracious, hospitable people – and we extend our welcome to a broadening range of people. 

• Our primary work is to worship God.  To glorify God and to enjoy God forever.  Our simple, lovely sanctuary is dedicated to our worship, but whether we worship there – or in the Fellowship Hall during the summer months – we worship God with joy, rich thanksgiving and conviction.

• We build friendships with our neighbors, beginning with those close to our church home and extending to the ends of the earth, helping discover and create a more abundant life, peace with justice for all people.

• We care for children.  The Pencader Family Album reveals children and youth – parents and friends singing and studying – and engaged in mission nearby and in Washington, DC.

• We seek ways that our Pencader buildings may be a resource for rich congregational and community life.  Our grand old church building is a blessing from our ancestors, and in our DNA is commitment to use this special place not just for ourselves, but for the community, as well.

Come Grow with Us!
