We welcome you to worship in the name of Jesus Christ. You can join us for any church activity that interests you.
Here are a few things to know about CHPC if you're a visitor:
Directions & Parking - Our parking lot is on Walnut Street between 22nd and 23rd Streets. The brick walkway through the Weirick Peace Garden leads to the main entrance and our Gathering Space. There is additional parking in the municipal lot one block down on Walnut towards 21st Street, on the other side of the Fire Company. There is also some limited street parking on Walnut between 23rd and 24th Streets or on 23rd Street. Click here for directions to CHPC.
What is worship like? - We worship God through our prayers and songs, through hearing scripture read and explained. We commit ourselves to doing what Jesus teaches, we give offerings to support that work, we receive the sacrament of communion each month. Our service is mostly on the “traditional” side, but not completely. We strive for inspiration and meaning in whatever way it can be found. We welcome you to worship God with us, and will not single you out as a guest. A Welcomer will give you a bulletin, that contains the order of service, and information about what is happening at the church this week.
What should I do with my children during worship?- We do provide child care in the first 3 rooms of the Christian Education wing closest to the Sanctuary for children who are infants through Kindergarten. We also believe in families worshipping together, so we encourage you to bring your children with you. In the early part of the service there is a Children's Sermon, which is a message just for the kids. After the Children's Sermon, infants through grade K may go to the child care rooms or return to sit with their parents. We have children's packets to help keep little hands occupied, just ask a Welcomer to locate them for you.
What is Church School? - Church School is the primary Christian Education opportunity. Christian Education is what it says - educating people of all ages about our Christian faith. It happens on Sundays during the school year at 9:40 AM. Please visit our Church School page for information about all of our educational opportunities.
Other Sunday Opportunities - Every Sunday morning there is coffee in the Fellowship Hall between worship services. Many people gather at 10:30 AM; that would be a good chance to meet people. Many Sundays there are activities at noon, or later in the day. Please inquire about those, or simply show up. You won't be turned away!
What do members of Camp Hill Presbyterian Church believe? - Our most basic belief, that is held in common by all of our members, is that Jesus Christ is our Lord and Savior. Presbyterianism is a form of Christianity that comes out of what is called the "Reformed Tradition." For more information about what Presbyterians believe, Click here.
