The Community Church of Pine Run was established in 1861 in the Historic Alle-Kiski River Valley, on the outskirts of the town of Apollo, in Washington Township of Westmoreland County, Pennsylvania, as the Pine Run Reformed Church.
In 1968, the church reorganized as an independent congregation under the name Pine Run Evangelical Reformed Church.
Then in 2002, the congregation joined the Evangelical Methodist Church.
The EMC is a small denomination rooted in the Missional Legacy of John Wesley, an Anglican minister nurtured by his parents in the religious philosophy of the Puritan Reformers. His passion was to see all people, in all places, come to know the risen Christ and to experience the abundant life that is only possible when we rest in His love for us.
Throughout all the changes, we have remained a Community of Faith that is Biblically-based, family-oriented, naturally diverse, and multi-generational; committed to loving God and others in real and practical ways.
