Living Out God's Love Through Service
At Trucksville United Methodist Church, we believe that faith is most powerful when it is lived out in love. Our church family is committed to serving others—right here in the Back Mountain community and throughout the world. Through a mixture of hands-on ministries, partnerships, and mission support, we seek to embody Christ’s call to care for our neighbors near and far.
