Rev. Deborah Kocibon, Pastor
In The Name of Jesus Christ, welcome to Kephart United Methodist Church of
McKeesport. The people of Kephart love the Lord and seek new and diverse ways
to express that love. We are dedicated to proclaiming the good news of Jesus
Christ to all the world and to our neighbor. We extend an invitation to you
to worship with us each Sunday at 11:00 A.M. We know you will be blessed by
a Spirit-filled worship through preaching, music and the fellowship of believers.
We also invite you to an evening of intercessory prayer each Wednesday at
7:00 P.M. During this informal time together, we lift to the Lord our praise,
our needs, and the needs of the world. We also seek to discern the Lord’s
will for our lives and the life of our church. We at Kephart strive to fulfill
the Lord’s holy word, “For my house will be called a house of
prayer for all the peoples.” (Isaiah 56:7)
Kephart is a congregation moved by the Holy Spirit to welcome all in the name of Jesus. In today’s stress-filled, fast-paced life, Kephart is an oasis for those seeking a better way to live. We offer the love of Christ to provide rest and sustenance for the modern life. We firmly believe the words of Jesus “I came that they may have life, and have it abundantly.” (John 10:10) We look forward to worshiping with you.
