What To Expect
We welcome you to Church of the Apostles United Church of Christ in Lancaster, Pa. To learn more about what you can expect when visiting us, please click on a question below.
We gather for worship each Sunday morning at 10 AM for a combined worship service. Our 10 AM service has been designed to accommodate those who enjoy both contemporary and traditional worship styles. The more contemporary feel tends to attract many young families. This service makes use of our sanctuary’s multimedia projection system, various praise-hymn supplements to our regular hymnal, and our overhead screens for enhanced viewing of the words to the songs and prayers we use.
Wear whatever you like! On a given Sunday we have members in jeans as well as members in suits, ties, and dresses. We believe that God cares more about the state of our hearts than the state of our attire, and encourage you to dress the way that feels most appropriate to you.
We offer plenty of free parking, including marked spaces for those with physical limitations, visitors, and seniors, right in front of our church building. Enter through the doorway at the covered entrance, where our friendly greeters will welcome you. From there, you’ll find our sanctuary straight ahead in the round end of the building.
Our single-level building is fully accessible to all. We offer ample handicap parking right in front of the church. Inside the sanctuary, we provide hearing-assistance devices, large-print bulletins, wheelchair spaces, and lumbar support cushions. Our projection system displays the words to prayers and hymns in a large, easy-to-read font, ensuring everyone can participate fully in our services.
Children
While we do not currently provide childcare or nursery care, we offer faith formation classes for children ages three through sixth grade. Children start the service with their families and then depart for Sunday school after the children’s sermon. Additionally, our ROOTED in Faith group is available for students in grades 4th-8th, providing a supportive and engaging environment for growing in their faith.
