Worship takes place every Sunday at 9:30 a.m. at 230 Christiana Road, with a livestream on the church's Facebook page and recordings on YouTube. Holy Communion is offered at each service, and the church also provides baptism and confirmation for youth and adults.

The congregation runs a monthly mobile food pantry, makes home visits, and operates an Early Education Center on the property that is open weekdays. Seasonal worship includes Advent, a Christmas Eve service in the evening, Lessons and Carols, Wednesday Lenten soup suppers that sometimes rotate among the other churches in New Castle, and Holy Week services with a Tenebrae service on Good Friday. A monthly newsletter called The Anchor is posted online, and the church office is open Tuesday through Thursday in the morning and early afternoon. A painting of the Last Supper completed in 1979 by a member is among the church's treasured items. Confirm times on the website before visiting.
