Sunday Services

Our worship follows a traditional structure, with scripture readings, singing, prayers, giving of offerings, a sermon, a corporate confession of faith, and a celebration of the Lord’s Supper (for a sample bulletin, click here). The whole service lasts about 1 hour and 15 minutes, with the sermon being about 30 minutes long (you can watch our sermons here).

We strive to sing a mixture of the best of traditional and modern hymns throughout the service. For our traditional hymns, we sing out of the Trinity Psalter Hymnal. Here is a playlist of some of the more modern hymns we have been singing in worship. We sing to a piano on most Sundays, but we are always looking for people with musical gifts to add to our music ministry.

There is no dress code. Please wear whatever feels comfortable to you. Some people dress more formally, while others dress more casually.

Children are welcome to worship with us. We do not yet have any separate children’s programs, but we do have a nursery for smaller children staffed with two volunteers with complete background checks if you would prefer to drop off your children during the service.

Please park in the parking lot of Fox Chase Cancer Center across the street.

After every worship service, we have a time of fellowship. On most Sundays, that is in the café area with some light snacks. On the first Sunday of every month, we have a fellowship potluck lunch in the fellowship hall downstairs.

There are two main principles that guide our worship. The first is what we in the Reformed tradition refer to as the regulative principle of worship. This is the principle that our worship is to be regulated by what God has authorized in the Bible. That is, we worship God how God has told us to worship him in his word.

The second principle is the dialogical principle of worship. This means that our worship is a dialogue between God and his people. This is why the elements of our worship are ordered the way they are, alternating between God speaking to us in his word and us responding to his word in prayer, singing, and the giving of offerings.
