Central Pennsylvania Conference is proud of our mission emphasis, through which volunteers grow spiritually as they perform works of mercy. For example, Mission Central is our mission warehouse in Mechanicsburg that supports the work of UMCOR as well as many local ministries. The Sierra Leone Initiative matches churches with sister churches in that African country. Volunteers in Mission go out both at home and abroad to provide spiritual and physical assistance to others. Local congregations are involved in mission efforts at home and abroad in a wide variety of ways.
Over the past 6 years we have trained nearly 2,000 pastors and lay persons to write and implement Safe Sanctuaries policies in our churches, to keep our children safe.
Central Pennsylvania Conference offices are located in Mechanicsburg PA with nine district offices in the cities of Altoona, Chambersburg, Harrisburg, Lewisburg, New Cumberland (Mechanicsburg), State College, Wellsboro, Williamsport, and York. Each of the district sites is headed by a district superintendent.
Central Pennsylvania Conference encompasses the central part of the state north to the New York State line and south to the Maryland line. In our nine districts are around 800 churches whose close to 144,000 members are served by nearly 550 pastors.
