Best bible preaching church I've ever been to. Pastor Johnathan Shirk is a wonderful man of God. They are blessed to have him. The congregation makes you feel like you've been in there family forever

From the very first week not only was the Gospel explicitly clear and FULL, but also we were welcomed immediately! The Elders are available and wanting to get to know our family. If you are looking for a Reformed church who is “doing church” the right way, I would highly recommend checking out Jerusalem Church. Don’t let the name trick you! To God Alone Be The Glory!

Jerusalem Church is refreshingly and consistently Biblical, Gospel centered and full of friendly, caring people. Expository preaching, reformed theology, Psalms & hymns, and careful selection of elders to care for the souls of the members and point them to Christ!
