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.
Meet our pastors
Pastors Zac and Ashley share a passion for ministry to Centre County. With their mission to encourage and equip the people of God in all they have been called to do. They have a heart to stay real, relevant and relational with those they have been called to serve.
Pastor Zac preaches the Word weekly with conviction, sharing truth, wisdom and practical application. Pastor Ashley directs Empow(her) Ministries of Access which is the women’s ministry reaching those inside the church and those beyond the four walls. They work together as a team to reach and teach the body of Christ. Their first ministry is to their four lively and fun-loving kids!
“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.”
our Culture
We are a church that’s REAL. We don’t pretend, perform, or put on church faces.
We come as we are and we believe God meets us in our real lives. God does His best work in honest hearts.When we bring our real struggles, real stories, and real questions, God brings real healing. “Authenticity creates space for transformation”
We are a church that’s RELEVANT. Not trendy, timeless. We believe the message of Jesus is alive, and it speaks into real life today.
We teach truth that connects to Monday morning, not just Sunday morning.
We speak to real issues, identity, marriage, anxiety, purpose, parenting, calling because God cares about all of it. “Truth doesn’t change but the way we communicate it should connect.
We are a church that’s RELATIONAL. Church is not a crowd to sit in, it’s a family to belong to. We grow through relationships, not isolation.
We believe life change happens in circles, not just in rows. We walk together, pray together, serve together, and carry each other’s burdens. “Christianity is not just believed it’s lived together.”
REAL faith. RELEVANT truth. RELATIONAL church.
That’s who we are and that’s the kind of community the world is longing for.
