This group provides lots of ways to get to know new people - whether you're a teenager looking for new friends with whom to fit in or you're a young mom seeking support or you're a 70-something interested in serving others. Check out CHPC! In my experience of the past 10 years, I've seen this church reaching out to local kids with the Good News of Jesus, feeding homeless people in Harrisburg, providing education and healthcare for children on the other side of the world, and returning yearly to build & renew friendships with folks in Maine whose homes the mission group has repaired. I see a deep commitment to serving other in many of the members of this congregation.

They have a huge pipe organ that really fills the church with sound and the organist is awesome. Its like a concert! They are very welcoming but not pushy. They also have a lot of mission projects and do a lot of things for the community. You really should visit.

I've been attending CLA since I started going to Messiah College in the fall of 2016. There are so…read moremany things about this church that I love: welcoming community, thoughtful relationships, great messages, etc. The pastors who speak on Sundays always make great points that relate to personal life and make the message understandable. I always feel so welcome when I walk into the building and am greeted by the nicest ushers who volunteer to serve there.

First time at this location. We attend the other campus regularly, but thought we would check this…read moreone out today. Much smaller than the main campus, but still had the same modern feel. Always a friendly crowd. We saw some faces that we knew from a while ago at the other campus, so it was nice to catch up. A little further drive for us, so we will stay going to GPC regularly...but this was fun. If you are looking for a friendly, Bible-centered, contemporary Christian church, check it out.

I started coming to this church when I was a child, my Mom brought us here. The congregation is…read moresmall, but is definitely a church 'family'. The pastor -Bob is the son of the prior pastor and he is dedicated to preaching according to the scripture. I was taught to run the sound here briefly when I was was still in school and my wife and I returned yesterday for a service. I was reminded of lots of memories and we attended the covered dish after the service which was very nice. The food and fellowship was wonderful and the spirit of the Lord is evident in the members. The church also has a day-school for preschoolers that I happened to attend as a kid. I recommend them for the same reasons as the church because they care and God's teachings are important to the school. The worship team is another reason to appreciate Oakwood, they lead the service in song and are a talented group of musicians and singers. I always leave feeling uplifted and if I have a concern for prayer it is usually shared by the group. Not only does the church have many strengths, but they support missionaries and good causes outside of the church. I have participated in a few events over the years and will always feel welcome here. I hope to continue bringing my son here.
