The full picture AI research · Nov 1, 2026
Celebration Community Church proposes a new church campus in Carroll Township, near Dillsburg, with about 127,085 square feet of buildings on roughly 40.2 acres. That is a very large church. The plan is filed as a combined subdivision and land development, which means the land may be divided and the site laid out with buildings, parking and utilities.
The church is an existing congregation based elsewhere in the Dillsburg area. A township zoning hearing board agenda from January 2025 listed the church as an applicant for a site on Old York Road. It was seeking approval to use the site for a church and related uses. The records found do not say what is on the land now, and no decision or news coverage was found.
The township supervisors' April 2026 work session agenda listed the church's preliminary/final land development plan for review.
What it could mean nearby
- Traffic and site access would likely be reviewed, because a church this size can draw large crowds on Sundays and at events.
- The 40.2-acre site would probably change from its current use, which the records do not describe, to buildings and parking.
- Water, sewage and stormwater arrangements would be reviewed as part of the plan, but no details were found.
Where it stands
The plan was on the township supervisors' agenda in April 2026, after the latest county filing on 2025-12-30. A preliminary/final plan usually needs township and county review and then a supervisors' vote. Conditions, permits and construction follow if it is approved. The outcome was not found.
