Welcome to the

Shippensburg First Church of God website! 

Our congregation has been continuously worshipping and serving in Shippensburg, PA since 1828. We are part of something much bigger than ourselves, and we would love for you to find your place in the story that God is writing here, as we carry out the mission to “love God, love His family, and love our neighbors.” 

We serve Jesus Christ, our Risen Savior who has conquered sin and death, and desires to lead us all into “Life to the Fullest” (John 10:10) through the power of His Holy Spirit! We believe we all need healing from our past, hope for today, and a home for the future.  We know that God has provided this for us through Jesus.

We want to be a church that not only encourages people on Sunday, but also makes a difference in our community and helps individuals live productive lives throughout the entire week influencing the people around them that God has placed in his or her circle of influence. Please know, if we can minister to you and your family and help you in your personal relationship with God, we would love the privilege to do so.  Do not hesitate to contact us if you have any questions as to how we can more effectively join Jesus in advancing His Kingdom.

Thanks for checking us out online. We also invite you to stop by the Welcome Desk in The Gathering Place the next time you are with us, and pick up a Welcome Packet that has information regarding our church and its ministries.  We invite you to our “Get Connected” Sunday School Class that meets the first Sunday of every month from 9:45-10:45 AM in the prayer room next to the sanctuary.  This is a one-time session where we share information about our denomination, our local church, and the ministries where you can belong and participate. 

We pray God’s blessing upon you and look forward to connecting with you soon.

For His Glory,

Pastor Rodney Bistline

Senior Pastor
