Church History:
In 1974, the idea of an Alliance church in Lewisburg, PA began with a vision and much prayer from the Eastern PA District Office. There was soon a small but committed visionary group that purchase a parsonage and called Rev. Les Conklin as their first pastor. The Conklin family moved to Lewisburg in December 1974, and the first service was held on January 5, 1975 in the Vaugh Lit Auditorium of Bucknell University.
Seven acres were purchased in 1976 and in May 1978 the ground was broken on the original building which now houses LAC Kids and the Youth Ministry. In 2010, construction was started on the current Worship Center, and they moved all services into the new building in 2013.
