St. John's United Church of Christ

About this church

St. John's United Church of Christ in Bellefonte gathers for worship on Sunday at 10:30 a.m. in its historic stone sanctuary at 145 W. Linn Street. The service is described as traditional with some contemporary touches: congregational hymns, a choir, a children's moment, a sermon from the pastor, and an occasional skit or other presentation. Communion is usually celebrated on the first Sunday of the month, and participation is optional. Services are also streamed live on Facebook and YouTube. The congregation belongs to the United Church of Christ and identifies as Open and Affirming.

Most Sundays, Sunday school follows the children's moment, and a nursery is available for the youngest children. During the week, a Bible Fellowship meets Tuesday afternoons at 12:30 in the Fellowship Hall, and a Zoom discussion forum called Insights meets Wednesday evenings at 7 to talk about the previous Sunday's sermon. The church also runs the Light of the World Free Clothing Bank in the Fellowship Hall, open to the community on select days.

First-time visitors can park in front, along the side, or behind the building. Accessible entrances are at the front and back, and an elevator from the lower front entrance reaches the sanctuary. Hearing assistance is available, and casual or more formal dress are both common. The church office is open Monday through Friday, 10 a.m. to 2 p.m., at 814-355-9072; confirm service and event times on the website.
