A Family You Belong to.

State College Access Church is a Spirit-filled, life-giving, family-oriented, non-denominational church in the State College area. Our weekend services includes a free pre-service café, contemporary worship, biblical message, and age specific kids ministry for infants through children in 5th grade.

Real

None of us are perfect. Thankfully, God doesn't require perfection. Access Church is a place to be yourself. No need to pretend to be something you're not.

relevant

During our Sunday services and Life Groups, we strive to communicate and discuss truths from the Bible that connect with everyday life.

relational

People thrive when they have close friends to go through life with. We believe in the importance of relationships with fellow believers and having opportunities to build them.

Therefore, since we have been justified through faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom we have gained access by faith into this grace in which we now stand. And we boast in the hope of the glory of God.
— Romans 5:1-2
