​Weekend services include a free pre-service cafe, contemporary worship, biblical message and age specific kids ministry for infants up through children in 5th grade.  

Our Culture

We Believe...

  • Access Church is a place to be yourself. We don't want you to pretend to be someone you're not. 
  • We know that people have questions about a lot of things. While we don't pretend to have all of the answers, we'll be honest with you and never sugarcoat the truth. 
  • Life can be tough sometimes. Having a close group of friends to share your experiences with can help make those tough times a bit easier. We have a variety of Life Groups to help you get connected with other believers.
  • Our hope is that everyone continually grows spiritually and encounters God's presence.
  • We are called to help and serve others. Through serving, we strive to make a difference in the community and world.
​
  • The Bible is the inspired, infallible, and authoritative Word of God
  • In the Trinity - Father, Son, and Holy Spirit
  • In the deity of our Lord Jesus Christ and His virgin birth 
  • In the forgiveness of sin through the Cross of Christ 
  • In the healing of body, mind, and soul
  • In salvation by grace, through faith
  • In the indwelling, guidance, and fullness of the Holy Spirit
  • In the return of Jesus Christ

Pastor Zac & Ashley McDonald

Pastor Zac and Ashley moved to State College, PA in November of 2006, with the desire to minister to the people of Centre County and to see them live in the full freedom Christ has provided. 

They began by serving as youth pastors in the area from the Fall of 2006 to the Fall of 2014. From there, they were led to launch Access Church on Easter Day, April 5, 2015 with a team of leaders.
​
The church was birthed in prayer and fasting and launched at a local country club, but quickly outgrew that location. We currently meet Sunday mornings at 10AM in Mount Nittany Middle School's auditorium.  

Several years ago Access Church developed a partnership with Bethel Church of the Nazarene.  This partnership has enabled Access Church to have a "home base" to host weekly ministry and store supplies right around the corner from the Middle School.
We are excited for all Jesus will continue to do in the future!
Romans 5:1-2 "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."
