A Family You Belong to.

State College Access Church is a Spirit-filled, life-giving, family-oriented, non-denominational church in the State College area. Our weekend service includes a free pre-service café, contemporary worship, biblical message, and age specific kids ministry for infants through children in 5th grade.

Real

None of us are perfect. Thankfully, God doesn't require perfection. Access Church is a place to be yourself. No need to pretend to be something you're not.

relevant

During our Sunday services and Life Groups, we strive to communicate and discuss truths from the Bible that connect with everyday life.

relational

People thrive when they have close friends to go through life with. We believe in the importance of relationships with fellow believers and having opportunities to build them.

 

Meet our pastors

Pastors Zac and Ashley share a passion for ministry to Centre County. With their mission to encourage and equip the people of God in all they have been called to do. They have a heart to stay real, relevant and relational with those they have been called to serve.

Pastor Zac preaches the Word weekly with conviction, sharing truth, wisdom and practical application. Pastor Ashley directs Empow(her) Ministries of Access which is the women’s ministry reaching those inside the church and those beyond the four walls. They work together as a team to reach and teach the body of Christ. Their first ministry is to their four lively and fun-loving kids!


Therefore, since we have been justified through faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom we have gained access by faith into this grace in which we now stand. And we boast in the hope of the glory of God.
— Romans 5:1-2
