We are a Christ-based, family-oriented, welcoming church that cares about YOU!
We are one of the oldest churches in York County, having been established in 1750, and situated in rural Spring Grove.
We are an active supporter of the Harvest of Hope food pantry, which serves the greater Spring Grove area.
We have activities for the youngest to the oldest and all ages in between.
Finally, this is a trying time for everyone, but we have a wonderful church family and together we will get through this. You are not alone. God is always with you, but you may get lonely. Remember, your church family is only a phone call away. If you need someone to talk to, let us know and someone will be in touch. God bless you, stay safe, and we hope to see you soon!

Message to the Congregation
St. Peter's Lischey's UCC is blessed to have members who faithfully support the life and mission of the congregation. I recognize our staff who continuously work with grace, compassion, flexibility and imagination to create meaningful worship in new formats, find new ways to hold music as a centerpiece of worship; challenge us to live our faith; uplift and encourage our congregation; care for our buildings and grounds; and so much more.
As the congregation continues its search for a full-time designated pastor, we continue to seek after God and His will for our church. I encourage the congregation to continue to support this community of faith through the gifts of your time, your talents, and your treasures. Because of your contributions, we have been able to share the good news of God's love in Jesus Christ to the people of our congregation and our community, giving them the strength and hope they need for daily life.
There is still more we can do and plenty of room for new members of the community to join in. I continue to encourage you to look around the community and invite someone new. As we make plans for the future, I pray that God will guide us through the challenges and opportunities of the year ahead. I ask for strength to lead with love, that you work for justice, care for one another, and that you will serve boldly.
In the peace of Christ,
Amanda Godfrey, Council President of St. Peter’s Lischey’s
