VISIT US

Our Sunday morning service is a great place to start

“I appreciate having a pastor who cares so deeply about every person in his congregation. And his dedication to giving us sermons every Sunday that are so rich in biblical truths.”

- Sara F.

What to Expect on Sundays

Here's what a typical Sunday morning looks like in 5 steps.

Arrive

We are temporarily meeting at the West Shore Elks in Camp Hill. Enter through the center set of doors off of the parking lot. After entering, our meeting room is the first door on the right. 

Friendly greeters will provide you with a bulletin and then you can grab a coffee and treat from our breakfast table. We usually have a fellowship time from 9:30 to 10:00 AM, so come early! Our service begins at 10:00 AM.

Have Kids?

As we are a small church plant, the children remain with their parents during the service. We have children’s bulletins with pictures to color and puzzles that closely correspond with the sermon text. We also have colored pencils and lap boards for the kids.

The Flow of Our Service

After announcements, we begin with a scriptural Call to Worship and our opening hymn. We typically recite a statement of faith taken from a confession or catechism to:

  • ground our congregation in core Christian doctrines.
  • provide a shared theological framework.
  • foster a deeper understanding of faith through structured instruction and communal confession.


Then we have a Prayer of Thanksgiving and sing the Doxology. We do not pass an offering plate, but there is a place to leave an offering, or you can give online. There is no expectation for visitors to give.
After a scripture reading and a prayer, we sing 2-3 worship songs before the sermon.

Bible Preaching

We preach through a book of the Bible. The sermon’s aim is to explain the text as it was intended for the original audience verse by verse. The goal is not just understanding, but practical application and transformation of the hearers’ hearts.

Get Connected

Our service closes with a hymn and a benediction. Following the service, people are encouraged to stay and mingle. This is a great time to connect with others in the body of Christ and develop true community.
