We are located at the corner of Beaver Avenue and Fraser Street in State College, Pennsylvania.  We have many opportunities for worship, education, fellowship, and community service. During the program year our Sunday Worship Services are at 9:00 am and 11:15 am.  During the summer months (Memorial Day weekend through Labor Day weekend) we have a single Worship Service at 10:00 am with Coffee Hour immediately following the single service (see above).   Sunday worship services are open to all and we invite you to participate.

 

Sunday School (for children, youth, and adults) and Coffee Hour are held between the Worship Services from 10:00-11:00 am (during the program year). Summer Sunday School meets during the worship service (after the Children's Message) for children aged 4 through those who have completed 2nd grade.

Sunday Notes:

Welcome Desk:  Be sure to stop  by the Welcome Desk on Sunday mornings (just outside the church office).  A volunteer is available there to answer any questions you may have about the church and its programs. You can also receive parking vouchers on the Sundays that the Beaver Ave. parking garage charges to park.

Greeters:  Every Sunday, greeters are at our main entrances to greet and welcome first time visitors as well as long time members.  Please let us know if you would like to participate in this ministry.

Pew Pads:  Be sure to sign the pew pads as they are passed during worship on Sunday mornings.  This allows us to welcome guests and provide information on how to become a member for those interested.

Name Tags:  When people become new members of our church we provide them with a name tag. Name tags are also available for purchase for a small fee and you can find Name Tag Order Envelopes in the pew racks or in the literature racks at the rear of the Sanctuary.  We encourage everyone to wear their nametags each Sunday.

For a fuller listing of the church's special activities, see our News and Events page.
