History
A Brief History of Good News
Lutheran Brethren Church
During the summer of 1994, local believers joined together in the
interest of forming a congregation affiliated with the Lutheran
Brethren denomination. On September 11, 1994, the first worship
service was held at the Community Building in McAlisterville. In
October, Good News called its first pastor. On April 2, 1995, the
church officially joined the Church of the Lutheran Brethren and
soon after began meeting at the Juniata Mennonite School.
Groundbreaking for the building across the road from East Juniata
High School took place on March 26, 2000 and the first service there
was held on August 27, 2000.
