About The Tree Church

History:
The Tree Church began in 1999 as a small group called Lancaster Community Church (LCC). God quickly grew this small group into a vibrant body of believers, and as a result, it moved from a storefront to the local YMCA. Eventually, LCC bought a building on North Columbus Street, where they pursued the presence of God together until 2018. Throughout that time, growth would ebb and flow until about 2016, when it became apparent that God was doing something amazing at LCC, and the building on North Columbus Street would no longer support the growth that God was bringing. Plans to open a new space began, and in the spring of 2016, LCC purchased 721 North Memorial Drive with plans to turn the existing retail space into a church.
Along with the numerical growth, God was also expanding the vision of LCC. Discussions began about the potential for future ministry outside the city of Lancaster, and it was decided that the name Lancaster Community Church would no longer serve the future vision God was calling the church to. So, in the spring of 2017, LCC became The Tree Church. After two years of construction, in September of 2018, The Tree Church moved into its new (and current) home. Throughout the history of this church, God has done amazing and miraculous things in the lives of the people who call The Tree Church home. And we are sure that its rich and beautiful history will be overshadowed only by the future God has in store for The Tree Church and her people.

Current:
At The Tree, they highly value two things: a relationship with God and relationships with people. Everything they do is for the purpose of helping those relationships thrive. When you are at The Tree, you will experience a welcoming environment, relevant teaching, dynamic music as they worship God through song, authentic people, and many opportunities to simply have fun!
