United Church of Christ in Abington

About this church

United Church of Christ in Abington is an Open and Affirming congregation whose roots combine three local churches, including a community organized in 1711, a nineteenth-century Congregational church, and a Methodist congregation. They united in 1969 within the United Church of Christ. The present church emphasizes welcome across race, sexuality, gender identity, disability, and denominational background, with a mission to connect people to one another and to God.

Sunday worship begins at 10:00 a.m., with Sunday School meeting during the service. Sanctuary worship is relaxed but reverent and includes organ, hymns, prayer, preaching, choirs, children’s messages, and guided reflection. On the fourth Sunday, Brunch Worship moves to the Parish Hall for hymns, conversation, shared food, and informal faith discussion. Several 2026 Sandwich Sundays combine table-based worship with preparing brown-bag lunches for a local homeless shelter; because their dates vary, visitors should use the worship page rather than assuming a monthly pattern. The sanctuary and Parish Hall are accessible. A public thrift shop opens Wednesday from 6:00 to 8:00 p.m. and Saturday from 9:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m., providing another practical point of contact with the community.
