Central Manor Church celebrated its official relaunch as an independent church on Sept 10. The church has had a continuous presence in Washington Boro and the surrounding areas dating back 128 years. The church is led by senior pastor Scott Davis, along with a team of elders and assistant pastors.

The mission statement of Central Manor Church is "Love and Obey God, Love and Serve People." The church is committed to the Bible as the authoritative Word of God. Church members also believe that Jesus can forgive sins, reconcile people to God the Father and give them the gift of eternal life.

Central Manor is a multigenerational church of about 400 people, including many young families with children who are active in the church, as well as senior citizens.

Central Manor Church has many ministries, both for the congregation and the surrounding community. Programs include Sunday worship services and Bible classes for children, youths and adults; Life Groups for adults during the week, which are small groups that meet for community and prayer and to discuss the sermon from the previous Sunday; an Awana children's program on Wednesday evenings; youth group on Sunday and Wednesday evenings; and Bible2School, which is a release program for kids from Central Manor Elementary School that come during their lunch period to learn about God.

The church also partners with The Way Recovery Ministry, which helps people recover from addictions. Many of the men from the Washington Boro house also worship at the church on Sundays.

Additionally, the church supports ministries in other countries and recently sent 10 people to Lebanon in the Middle East to meet with one of its partner churches.

All individuals and families in the community are welcome to attend Sunday morning worship at the church. Services are held at 9 and 10:30 a.m. The church is located at 387 Penn St., Washington Boro. For more information, call 717-872-2772 or email office@centralmanorchurch.org.
