"No matter who you are
or where you are on life's journey...
You are welcome here!"
An Old Church
Founded 1791 as Wenrich's Reformed Church.
Worship held on site as early as 1740's in a two room log schoolhouse. First worship by Scottish (Presbyterian), then English (Anglican), then German (Reformed and Lutheran) settlers. Thus an ecumenical heritage!
Historic Wenrich Cemetery includes Native American Sioux Princess Whitefeather (Mary Eaglefeather Green), Thomas Lingle (founder of Linglestown), and an ancestors of President Dwight Eisenhower.
A union church from 1792 to 1952, the two congregations shared the historic building. The former sister congregation is now Christ Lutheran Church, Linglestown.
A Connected Church
A member congregation of the United Church of Christ, we profess Jesus Christ as Lord. We practice freedom of belief, worship and expression of faith. As member of the living Body of the Risen Christ, we cherish friendships with other congregations and traditions. We are called to demonstrate our love of God in loving service to others.
We believe God is still speaking!
A Growing Church
St. Thomas counts it a privilege to welcome new friends and grow in faith together. The congregation is 510 members with many friends. The Linglestown area grows rapidly. A brand new Central Dauphin High School is just down the road.
A Building Church
The 20-pew sanctuary dates to 1856. Additions followed in 1959, 1981 and 2000. We are currently constructing two building additions!
