Allegheny East Conference

Allegheny East Conference's Fourth Street Friendship church in Washington, D.C., recently hosted a 2025 Popsicle Festival where church members and volunteers gave away 486 popsicles and, most notably, 346 backpacks filled with school supplies.  

The Rehoboth church in Reading, Pa., recently hosted a compassion ministry initiative that resulted in 50 decisions for Christ. Each night, the church combined the power of the gospel with the tangible expression of Christ’s love through acts of compassion.

The young people of the Cedars of Lebanon church in Chesapeake, Va., recently put their faith into action through a vibrant community garden. As grocery prices rise and food insecurity becomes an increasing concern for many families, the youth have responded with a practical solution, rooted in biblical principles of stewardship and service.

Gina Brown, an Allegheny East Conference member who served on the Columbia Union Conference Executive Committee for nine years, will become president of Oakwood University (Ala.).

This fall, the Allegheny East and Chesapeake conferences will join forces—with support from It is Written, the North American Division and the Columbia Union Conference—to host evangelistic meetings in Baltimore.
