This is my mothers church in which she is extremely active in... Everything from Bible study, to…read morefundraising, and missions to the Holy Land. The pastors here are all very nice and speak intelligently about the Bible... Kids here are also very active. Some church history: St. Paul's United Methodist Church is located in the heart of State College, bordering The Pennsylvania State University and downtown State College. The congregation of St. Paul's is committed to ministry in this strategic location with students and permanent residents alike. Steeped in a rich heritage of classical worship, St. Paul's also incarnates the outreaching spirit that is typical of United Methodists. In the name of Jesus, the congregation of St. Paul's is eager to nurture a generation of Christian leaders for the 21st century. All are welcome to join the ministry of Jesus Christ through St. Paul's as we endeavor to be Christ's hands, feet, and heart in today's world. I really mean that last part about all are welcome... I am in fact Catholic (my mother is Methodist) and we go here very welcomed. If your looking for a nice Sunday Mass after a football game or any visit, this place works well.

Although the teachers are still amazing since the change in administration in both the daycare and…read moreChrist Community church it really has begun to go downhill due to what I feel to be greed.In the past year alone tuition increased twice by more than $40 each time, they at one point had signs posted stated teachers and parents are responsible for all classroom supplies, and want to charge more for toddler lunches than I currently pay for a high school kid.This last time they gave us about a two weeks' notice that our very NEXT tuition payment would be increasing a significant amount (right at Christmas time).I found whenever I tried to speak with the director of ABBA's house or the administration in the church that runs the program they have been rude, dismissive, and dishonest.When I questioned the lunch program the daycare could be in that would allow for free meals I was told we tried that parents didn't like it umm sure.I emailed the pastor and received a response from what I believe is an assistant that is trying to claim 70% of the money goes to payroll and they have very little left to make their bills. Yet teachers make very little and are not receiving and increase of any kind and are expected to cover classroom supplies.I also find it hard to believe they have little to make bills but can afford a fancy new indoor soccer arena, parking lot expansion, and brand new under armor uniforms for the church staff. When another parent expressed on her personal facebook the frustration of having to correct billing all the time the director of ABBA's house got onto another teachers account began making rude comments to both that parent and her friends.Telling the parent"but don't we always take care of your child"and one of her friends "who are you do you even have kids here" This greedy and rude behavior has lead to increase frustration both among the parents and teachers.Given administrations dismissive behavior I just continue to see this entire program go downhill.

We have enjoyed the congregation. Wonderful, friendly and accepting. It is a wonderful family…read morechurch with programs for everyone.
