We are a vibrant and progressive Christian community embracing inclusivity and diversity with all who seek to enrich their spiritual journey. Using the teachings of Jesus Christ and the Still Speaking God, we seek to engage the world through workshop, education, ministry, mission and love.
And I truly believe this is the framework of our community. We are here in this place to tell the story of the awe-inspiring good news that the Sacred One loves and hears us. Since I was called to this community in 2019, I have been surrounded by the awe-inspiring community of Hummelstown UCC who have embraced my family and shown up to be a church family, always seeking the next addition to our community. If you have questions about the church, worship, or our theology, I’d be happy to meet with you! Email me or call the office to find a time to talk.

A bit about Beth –
Born and raised outside Portland, Oregon, Pastor Beth Rogers has always felt a strong call to build relationships in community. She received a Bachelor of Arts in Sociology and Psychology from the University of Oregon in 2003 and after several years working with afterschool youth programs, she completed a Masters in Divinity from Pacific School of Religion in 2011. She has been in pastoral ministry since 2014. Her areas of focus have been in creating new worship styles, youth engagement, children’s religious education and crafting small relational groups. She has deep ties to caring for creation through outdoor ministry, and developing intergenerational relationships. She has served congregations in Oregon, Massachusetts and Minnesota before coming to Pennsylvania. When not at the church, you can find her spending time with her wife Samira and daughter Tylah, enjoying the outdoors, enjoying science fiction or trying a new recipe in the kitchen. |
