Our Past
Our local Church dates back to 1894 when an organization meeting was held in
Sipe's Hall on South Hanover Street, Carlisle. At that meeting thirty-six
people covenanted together to form the Carlisle First Church of God. That same
year the new congregation purchased a church building on West Louther Street,
Carlisle, and met in that location until 1974 at which time the congregation
moved to her present address.
