Wild Church

Wild Church is a growing movement in which we seek to recover our natural, outdoor "roots" and take worship outside into our first and greatest sanctuary: creation itself. Wild Church gatherings are not simply "traditional" worship services transplanted onto a natural backdrop, but are instead more "organic" worship experiences in which we recognize that the natural world itself is a fellow participant - worshipping along with us. In this recognition we learn to see God present and active in all things.

We are entering into our second year of quarterly Wild Church gatherings. Most gatherings  take place at Orchard Hill Retreat Center outside of Millerstown, PA, with the winter gathering taking place at Carlisle United Methodist Church in Carlisle, PA.
