Welcome to the Pastor Call Page!
The Call Committee at Bergstrasse is working on their Congregation Profile. Included in this information will be an invitation for perspective pastors to check out this page on our web site. We have included a picture and a few videos to give a sneak peak at our facilities before you come for a visit.
Double click on the pictures to launch the larger picture or videos. The video files were purposely reduced in quality so that the files would not be too large. Please contact the Call Committee if you have any questions.

- This shows the main entrance into the hall lobby. (No surprise, the doors are red.) That big sign is from the float in this year's Ephrata parade. The sanctuary is to the right. The other door leads down stairs to classrooms below the sanctuary and the hall. The video leads us past the restrooms and mailboxes. It finishes with a pan of the pastor's office. It looks very bare without the books and personal decorations.
