First Presbyterian Church

About this church

First Presbyterian Church of Allentown offers English-language worship Sundays at 8:45 and 11:00 a.m. The earlier service meets in Fellowship Hall with a contemporary feel and worship band; the later sanctuary service uses choir, congregational singing, Scripture, preaching, prayer, and sacraments in a more traditional form. Both stream online. The congregation supports weekly Arabic worship and a Chin Burmese service led by members of Allentown’s community from Myanmar, making multilingual ministry central to church life.

The Arabic ministry combines Christian worship with social support and cultural understanding among Arabic-speaking neighbors. Chin worship is intentionally communal, with adults and children sharing leadership. The church’s wider mission includes the Allentown Area Ecumenical Food Bank, Family Promise, the CROP Hunger Walk, and winter shelter work through the Allentown Warming Station. These partnerships address hunger, temporary homelessness, displacement, and other practical needs across the Lehigh Valley. The campus is at 3231 West Tilghman Street. Newcomers can watch recent services before visiting and choose a worship language and style that fits them. Because multilingual services and livestream start times are published separately, consult the current worship page for the Arabic and Chin schedule rather than assuming it matches either English gathering.
