Our Family is Growing…
After a year of prayer and conversations, the Provincial Elders’ Conference, in consultation with the Eastern District Executive Board, is thrilled to announce the approval and acceptance of The Gate – A Faith Community of Bethlehem, Pennsylvania, as a new member congregation of the Moravian Church, Northern Province. These conversations began following an expressed interest by The Gate leadership to join the Moravian Church as a ministry partner and as a participating member of an inclusive and vibrant Moravian mission community.
The Gate will begin their ministry with us by residing in our church facility in South Bethlehem and by working in collaboration with the Eastern District Executive Board to complete their charter and constitution in accordance with the Book of Order. Additional information can be found about The Gate Community Church at: https://www.thegatecc.com
A special service of welcome and commemoration will be planned for the near future. Area congregations are welcomed and encouraged to attend.
Pastor Eric Schwartz offers his heartfelt gratitude in being welcomed into our Moravian family in the following video statement on behalf of The Gate congregation.
