Picture
Carlisle Truck Stop Ministry, Inc. ministers to the physical and spiritual needs of the truckers and travelers who use the truck stops and terminals along the busy section of U.S. Route 11 just east of Carlisle, Pennsylvania.
This stretch of Route 11 is known as ‘The Miracle Mile’ because it is a connecting corridor between Interstate 81 and the Pennsylvania Turnpike. This highway sees well over a million vehicles each month and has the heaviest tractor-trailer traffic anywhere on the East Coast.
In addition to the thousands of truck drivers who patronize the truck stops each day, thousands more pass by on their way to one of several dozen terminals and warehouses which are located within ten miles of this area. These facilities operate on a 24/7 basis.
The enormous number of people represented by these vehicles translates into a need for the availability of pastoral care, for where crowds this large gather for employment and commerce, extraordinary needs will be represented. Our church bakes and packages cookies during the Thanksgiving & Christmas season. The truck stop distributes the cookies to truckers that are passing through our area. One of our members serves on the Board of Trustees for this ministry.
