OUR DOCTRINAL BELIEFS
King Street Church affiliates with the United Brethren in Christ denomination. Our doctrines and Confession of Faith align with them. You can read a full description of those beliefs at the UB Website.
OUR MISSION
Our mission is to engage and bless our community with the Gospel.
At King Street, there are three components of our vision for ministry that we specifically focus on. We are a regional church, we are a teaching church, and we are a resourcing church. Those three elements characterize our ministry and help us to establish new goals. What do those keywords mean?
WE ARE CHURCH THAT IS…
Regional
We are a church with a broad geographical reach. While our footprint is in the heart of downtown Chambersburg, our church family draws people from a much wider area – towards Harrisburg, over the mountain from McConnellsburg, and down in Hagerstown. Our livestream and digital ministry platforms also welcome people in from much farther away! We invest in ministries that serve the needs of people from these varied walks of life!
Teaching
King Street has a rich legacy of teaching. We are grounded in the Bible as God’s Word and committed to explaining the Scriptures for the benefit of all people. Teaching is seen in many levels: at the church from the small gathering of a few believers, to the collection of several people in a Sunday Community, to groups that engage our children and teens – and to the church gathered in joyous worship to hear the Word proclaimed from the pulpit. God has given teachers a special calling, and we encourage the broad use of those gifts here.
Resourcing
God gives gifts to people and to churches with special intent: they are for the good of those who receive it, and also intended to bless those connected to the recipient! In other words, King Street believes that the abundance that we receive from God in people, finances, and talents are not for us alone, but are to be shared with the people in our sphere that He wants to bless. To that end, we are open-handed with resources of all kinds, helping resource a spectrum of local and global ministries that share the goodness of Christ with all.
