Our worship will be God-centered, biblical, joyful, and thoughtful, in public worship as well as daily life and work.


Our teaching will focus on the Bible, proclaiming, explaining, and applying God's word for salvation, faith, and life. We uphold the Westminster Confession of Faith and Catechisms as a faithful summary of what the Bible teaches.

We will foster love and unity in the body of Christ, recognizing our mutual dependence on one another.

We will demonstrate the mercy of God in practical ways—watching over, praying for, and serving one another, and ministering to the needy outside the church.

In word and deed, we will communicate God's free offer of salvation to all people, both in greater Williamsport and around the world.

What does the OPC believe?
The Orthodox Presbyterian Church traces its roots to the sixteenth-century Reformation and its doctrinal statements, especially the Westminster Confession of Faith. The denomination was founded in 1936 to maintain the absolute truth of God's word, which was being denied in many circles.

Why "presbyterian?"
From the times of Abraham and Moses, God's people have been led by wise elders—men called and gifted by God to oversee the church. The word "presbyterian" means "ruled by elders"; it comes from the New Testament Greek word "presbeuteros" (1 Timothy 5:17, Titus 1:5). In the OPC, local church elders, along with the pastor, form a "session" to care for God's family. Matters of common concern for churches in a given area are overseen by a body of pastors and elders called a "presbytery."

Why "orthodox"?
"Orthodoxy" comes from a Greek word meaning right thinking or right opinion based on the Bible, as opposed to heresy. At a time when many churches have sadly departed from the revealed truth of Christianity, we adhere firmly to the ancient faith delivered once for all by Jesus Christ to his apostles.
