Mission Values Priorities

We Believe

God is love, power, and splendor—and God is a mystery. His ways are far beyond us, but He still reaches out to us. God is infinite yet intimate, three yet one,
all-knowing yet all-forgiving.

Join us November 5 at noon for Columbia Union’s monthly prayer meeting.

Leaders and members from the Allegheny East Conference will guide us in prayer and share how God is working through the Pentecost 2025 movement to bring blessings to their territory. Together, we will engage in a time of prayer and praise, focusing specifically on God's grateful and generous heart and how we can be more like Him. 

Don’t forget to bring your prayer requests and invite a friend!

Story by Debra Anderson

The Damascus Grace Fellowship (DGF) church recently hosted its first-ever “Touch A Truck” event—a vibrant, family-focused outreach that brought ministry into motion and the community into fellowship. Designed to strengthen ties beyond the church walls, the event reflected the heart of Christ through joyful service, creative planning and open-armed hospitality.
