Strong Church Formation
Join Us for Strong Church Formation What does it look like for Prince Street Church to continue growing—not simply bigger, but deeper? We are inviting members of our Prince Street Church family to join us on Saturday, September 12, 2026, as we travel to Devonshire Church in Harrisburg for the Strong Church Formation workshop. This gathering is an opportunity for us to learn, worship, and grow alongside other United Brethren churches while thinking intentionally about the kind of church God is calling us to become. Growing Deeper Together At the 2025 United Brethren National Conference, a new definition of a local congregation was embraced around three important expectations of a maturing church: Spiritually Alive Deepening our vitality in Christ and helping people grow in their relationship with Jesus. Relationally Connected Building authentic Christian community where people are known, loved, encouraged, and supported. Missionally Engaged Living out the life and mission of Christ in our community and our world. The Strong Church Formation series is designed to help churches move from metrics to maturity, from maturity to unity, and from unity to multiplication. We Want You to Join Us While this workshop is especially valuable for church staff, board members, ministry leaders, and those who attended the 2025 National Conference, our invitation is open to members of the Prince Street Church family who want to attend. You don't need to hold a particular position or title. If you care about the ministry and future of Prince Street Church and want to grow alongside others as we seek God's direction for our church, we would love for you to join us. Event Details Saturday, September 12, 2026 9:00 AM–3:30 PM Devonshire Church | Harrisburg, PA The workshop will be led by Bishop Todd Fetters and Mike Dittman, Director of National Ministries. Together, we'll be equipped, connect with the larger United Brethren family, worship, and consider practical ways our churches can grow deeper and stronger. Let's Go Together We believe this can be a valuable day for our church—not just for individual learning, but for helping us think and pray together about the future of Prince Street Church. Come be part of the conversation. Come be encouraged. Come help us consider how PSC can continue becoming a church that is Spiritually Alive, Relationally Connected, and Missionally Engaged.REGISTER TO ATTEND WITH PSC
