Penbrook UCC has served this community for more than 100 years. We are a family of diversity. We believe in social justice, in lifting our neighbors.
Beyond the “Sunday ministry” of this church, Manna Food Pantry serves hundreds of families each year in partnership with the Central Pennsylvania Food Bank. In addition to Manna, various teams perform community service, create homeless kits for the homeless in our area. Also, the volunteer-drive Scarf Bombardiers provides scarves, hats, and mittens to those most in need.
And the house of worship serves as a safe space for various community groups, from Girl Scouts who are learning to be the change they wish to see in the world, to a twelve step program that seeks to strengthen and enrich its participants.
