Glad you asked! Markleysburg Union is a church full of imperfect people striving to love God and love other people. You can expect to be greeted warmly and welcomed in, no matter who you are, where you've been, or what you're wearing. You'll see young families, senior citizens, and everything in between. Some dress up, others wear jeans and t-shirts. It's all good. You can expect solid Biblical teaching in an environment that encourages living out your faith. And you can expect to meet Jesus. He's the One we're all following!
These principles guide everything we do.
Faith ~ Hope ~ Love
