Our Mission
We exist to lead people to say yes to Jesus – on the campus, in the community, and around the world.
WHY STATE COLLEGE?
Because State College is more than a college town, it’s a place where people from all over the world come searching for purpose, community, and a fresh start. It’s where students, families, and lifelong locals live side by side, creating a unique opportunity to see lives changed by the hope of Jesus. We believe God has already prepared the harvest here, and we’re saying yes to joining Him in what He’s doing. Our goal at The Fields Church to be a joyful, gospel-centered family on mission, helping people find belonging, purpose, and a life rooted in Jesus.

WHAT WE BELIEVE
DO NOT EDIT
THE BIBLE IS OUR AUTHORITY
We believe the Bible is God’s true and trustworthy Word – and it shows us who God is, who we are, and how to live with purpose.Â
JESUS IS THE ONLY WAY
We believe Jesus is the Son of God who lived perfectly, died sacrifically, and rose again to rescue us from sin and give us a new life.Â
SALVATION IS BY GRACE, THROUGH FAITH
We can’t earn our way to God. It’s a gift – recieved by saying yes to Jesus and trusting Him fully.Â
THE CHURCH IS GOD'S PLAN FOR THE WORLD
We believe the local church is a family, a mission, and a launchpad for disciples – not a building or a performance.Â
THE SPIRIT EMPOWERS US
We believe the Holy Spirit lives in every believer, guiding us, changing us, and sending us out with boldness and joy.Â
JESUS IS COMING BACK
We believe history is headed toward hope. Jesus will return, and those who’ve placed their trust in Him will live with Him forever – fully restored, fully free.
