MOUNT NITTANY

United Methodist Church

WE'D LOVE TO CONNECT WITH YOU

Mount Nittany Church is a welcoming and loving multi-generational group of Christ followers who seek the living realities of God’s kingdom in our daily lives. We believe Christ calls us into community, reaching far beyond the walls of a building, where we can share the love of Christ and make the world a better place for all people. Our worship style is casual, and you can expect a blend of traditional and contemporary worship music, sound preaching and genuine fellowship. We live stream our services on Facebook: Mt Nittany Church
