Church History: YAC began in 1932 and has remained a significant Kingdom presence in York since that time. After residing at several different locations, the church building has, for the last 60+ years, been on Rathton Rd. on the southern border of the city of York, located between two colleges (Penn State York and York College) and just down the street from the York (Wellspan) Hospital.
