Crellin United Brethren in Christ Church

Crellin United Brethren in Christ Church is a small village congregation of the Church of the United Brethren in Christ at 65 Otterbein Street in Crellin, west of Oakland. It is a close-knit country church for Crellin-area families looking for Sunday worship and Bible teaching close to home.

A United Brethren Congregation

The Church of the United Brethren in Christ is a Protestant denomination with American roots in the 1700s; the street the church sits on is named for Philip William Otterbein, one of its founders. Congregations in the tradition centre their worship on Scripture, preaching and prayer, and the Crellin church serves as a gathering place for local families, including for funerals and memorial services.

Finding the Church

Crellin is an old lumber and company town in the Youghiogheny River valley, about four miles west of Oakland along Maryland Route 39. The United Brethren directory's driving directions say to cross the Route 39 bridge over the Youghiogheny and turn left right away onto Otterbein Street, which runs through the church parking lot.

The church doesn't publish a website, so if you're planning a first visit, asking around in Crellin or checking with the United Brethren denomination is the surest way to confirm current Sunday plans.
