On July 22, 2018 our historic church building was destroyed by a fire, HOWEVER we, "the church", are still present in Girard.  Following many months of planning and preparation, a groundbreaking service was held on November 24, 2019 for our new building. View Construction Jobsite Photos  The many contributions and prayers that we have received from churches, businesses, and individuals continue to bless us. We are committed to continuing our ministry in Girard and rebuilding is currently underway.  You can help us rebuild some of the programs and ministry that insurance will not cover on our GoFundMe page.
Christian Cupboard Food Pantry
One of our primary missions in our local community is the Food Pantry serving Girard and Lake City residents in need of assistance. This is a joint ministry among the churches of the Girard-Lake City Ministerium. Food is distributed twice a month at 34 Church Street, the white house behind the church construction site. More information can be found on the Christian Cupboard Facebook page. Pastor's Message
Welcome. We are a caring community of folks of all ages who gather each week to joyfully worship God. Our worship service style is traditional, with some contemporary songs sung on some Sundays. One Sunday each month, communion is usually observed. We have a bell choir, chancel choir, men’s breakfast group, women’s group, and Sunday school classes for all ages, including nursery care. We are part of the PCUSA but do not hold to many of the liberal beliefs of some in our denomination. Please contact the church with any questions you may have. My door is open and we pray that God will lead people to our church who will feel welcome and become part of this church family. Pastor Nicola
