Your first visit

Feeling unsure the first time is normal. Most groups are glad when someone new walks in.

First step: Come to Sunday worship at 9:30 am at 419 S. 6th Street, or arrive for the 8:30 am coffee hour in the Fellowship Hall to meet people first. Fill in the Visitor Form and choose First Time Visitor, or call (215) 925-0616..

You can just show up.

What to expect

Sunday worship runs from about 9:30 to 11 am at 419 S. 6th Street, and the church welcomes first-time guests. The website does not describe what happens inside the service, so call ahead if you want to know more. Coffee hour before worship is open to visitors, and no fee is listed for worship.

Tips for your first visit

  • Arrive around 8:30 am if you want the coffee hour before worship.
  • Fill in the Visitor Form and pick First Time Visitor.
  • Call (215) 925-0616 about parking, transit, and wheelchair access, since the site does not list them.
  • If you cannot come in person, the 8 am adult church school and the fellowship hour after worship run on Zoom.

Newcomer welcome

Welcoming to newcomers (4 out of 5). Why we say this: The visitor page welcomes new guests and has a First Time Visitor option, and the coffee hour page says it serves visitors as well as worshippers..
