Five Forks Today

Visitors Page (about Five Forks Church)

  

Over the last 15 years the Lord has seen fit to grow this congregation from a small rural church of approximately 150 members to a church that averages over 900 people every Sunday. We are interested in more than numerical growth however...we have a strong desire to grow spiritually, and experience a deeper relationship with our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.

 

We are located in South Central Pennsylvania (Franklin County), easily accessible from Waynesboro, Chambersburg and Greencastle.
