Pierce Church

About this church

Pierce Church in Upland, Indiana, gathers for worship on Sunday mornings at 201 N. 8th Street. An early service at 8:30 a.m. lasts about 35 minutes and features abbreviated worship led by one singer. The full worship service follows at 10:30 a.m., led by a multi-instrumental praise team that plays worship music, hymns, and original songs in a folk style. Sermons run about 30 minutes and are meant to be accessible to newcomers. Small groups meet Sunday at 9:15 a.m. between the services. The congregation includes families, college students, empty-nesters, and retirees, and the site says there are no formal dress expectations. The church began as Upland United Methodist Church and moved into a former factory building in town in 2017.

Children's programming covers infants through elementary students, with volunteers at a check-in desk just past the cafe. Children are taken to rooms in a secure corridor, and parents can register online in advance for faster check-in. Pierce Youth is for incoming 6th through 12th graders and meets Sunday evenings from 6 to 8 p.m. A high school boys Bible study meets Thursday mornings at 6:45. Other listed ministries include Kiddie Kampus Preschool, MomLink, women's ministry, Wednesday gatherings, community groups, college ministry, and missions. Visitors who want coffee or need to check in kids can use the Cafe entrance, while the other two entrances lead more directly to the sanctuary. Services can also be watched online.
