Open to anyone curious about our Methodist tradition, structure and more.
September 18 & 19, 2026 hosted at Sprucetown UMC. Register today!
Do you like Chris Tomlin, Casting Crowns, Brooke Ligertwood, Michael W. Smith, Brandon Lake, Elevation Worship? Do you listen to The Message on SiriusXM? Do you like Contemporary Christian Music but unable to hear enough of it?
Come join us here at Grace United Methodist Church in Centre Hall on the 3rd Sunday (usually) of every month. Our service has the same components as our Traditional Service, with only the
music changing.
Our band Glorified has been providing the music for 20 years. You’ll find the service to be uplifting, and you might walk away humming a song or two.
Occasionally we do change what Sunday is contemporary, so please call the office a couple weeks in advance to confirm. “Perhaps creation longs to have the words to sing, but this joy is
mine. With a thousand hallelujahs, we magnify your name.” as written by Scott and Brooke Ligertwood and Phil Wickham for the song “A Thousand Hallelujahs.” Preview Glorified via the video below...

Agape House Community Program and PreBorn
This is a rescue home for abandoned babies and a reception center in Kampala, Uganda saving the lives of innocent babies and providing counseling for teenage mothers to make good decisions regarding the care of their children. This home can house 40 children ages 0-5 years old.
Agape House Babies Home gives these children the opportunity not only to have a chance at life, but also
to have a family, the chance for relationship with their biological mothers, a safe place to sleep, good food, and medical care. Without your support Agape cannot continue to provide this loving home for these children.
