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 10:30 am, and fill in a welcome card from the pew rack if you want the church to know you are new..
You can just show up.
What to expect
Sunday worship starts at 10:30 am with Holy Communion and lasts a bit over an hour. The music is hymn based, with organ, strings and winds, and dress is casual. Visitors can say hello to a member over coffee after the service. Visitors do not need to give when the offering plate comes around.
Tips for your first visit
- The main entrance is on 37th Street Walk, a few minutes from 30th Street Station. The contact page also lists trolley routes 10, 11, 13, 34 and 36 to 36th Street Station, and bus 21 to 37th Street.
- On Sundays and evenings, park in the lot behind the church, entered from Ludlow Street. On other days, street parking needs a paid kiosk receipt on your dash.
- Children are welcome in worship, but there is no nursery during services. Ushers can give you an activity kit.
- Communion is offered at both services. You can stand or kneel at the rail, or come forward and receive a blessing if you prefer not to take communion.
