What To Expect at Oley Valley Mennonite Church

 

Worship services are casual at Oley Valley Mennonite Church. Our services start with music, often gospel or contemporary songs or familiar hymns. Our pastor preaches a Bible-based message with practical application to help you live out your faith during the week.  There is opportunity to share praises and prayer requests following the sermon.  Services are usually about an hour, and then you are welcome to visit with people afterwards.  Sunday services begin at 10:30 a.m.  We are located at 1571 Memorial Highway (along Rt. 662), Oley, PA.

Please accept this as our personal invitation for you to stop by and visit with us. We would consider it an honor to meet you and to worship the Lord Jesus Christ together.

Our Beliefs

We believe in the core values of historic Anabaptists and Mennonites with a Christ-centered faith that is Bible-based.  Oley Valley Mennonite Church affirms these values, including believer's baptism, seeking to live out the teachings of Jesus daily in life, following Jesus' way of nonviolence and peacemaking, and serving in missions locally and throughout the world.

We affirm the Confession of Faith in a Mennonite Perspective (1995).  Through Mennonite World Conference (https://mwc-cmm.org), we share in the fellowship of Anabaptist Mennonite churches throughout the globe.
