About Us - New Holland Grace Brethren Church

We are a church associated with the Fellowship of Grace Brethren Churches. On a Sunday Morning you will experience a wonderful blend of traditional and contemporary praise and worship, along with an extended meet and greet time, and a intriguingly applicational sermon by Senior Pastor Tim Hodge.

Wednesday nights you will experience wonderful family nights. The Children's Ministry meets in "The Jungle" to experience a hand's on lesson and game time with Pastor Rich Russell. Teenager's ranging from 7th-12th grade will experience Imitate Youth Group with Pastor Chris Breneman. This is a fun time to hang out with your friends and enjoy a multi-media driven applicational lesson that will help in your teen's walk with Christ. For the adults we currently have a program called "Understanding Christian Theology" led by Senior Pastor Tim Hodge. Pastor Tim dialogues about different forms of theology to help you better understand what you believe.

We welcome you to come out and enjoy a Wednesday night or Sunday morning with us!

HISTORY

New Holland GBC was founded in 1966 as a church plant from the Greater Lancaster Grace Brethren Church. Services were first held September 4, 1966 in the Liberty Fire Company Auditorium. The initial 3 acres adoinging the Community Park were purchased and a ground breaking ceremony was held on the church's first anniversary. The initial building was dedicated on May 26, 1968.

Church growth resulted in a building expansion project in 1973, more than doubling floor space. The new addition was dedicated on June 16, 1974. In 1985 a second building expansion project began with the new addition dedicated on March 2, 1986.
Today, New Holland GBC owns approximately 10 acres of land. The current church building contains 9000 square feet of floor space.

As of 2005, the lower level houses the Office area, Fellowship Hall (Youth and ABF Classes), Kitchen, Children's Ministry rooms, Library and restrooms. The upper level houses an auditorium that seats over 300 people with more seating space available in the adjoining overflow/ABF classroom area. The foyer, Restrooms, Nursery, and three Children's Ministry rooms are also located on this level.
