Family Worship Center Erie

About this church

Family Worship Center Erie gathers at 10 a.m. Sunday at 1201 Parade Street. A typical service includes contemporary music led by a full band, announcements, an offering, more music, biblical teaching, and often an opportunity to respond. Worshipers may sing, clap, raise their hands, move, or participate more quietly according to comfort. Guests are invited to come as they are, and the church says friendly volunteers can help with directions and provide a welcome gift. Recent recorded messages offer a preview of preaching.

The congregation is multicultural, multigenerational, and Spirit-filled, with a mission summarized as reach, encourage, and disciple. It began as an Assemblies of God church plant after Erie First Assembly moved out of the inner city. A former furniture store at 12th and Parade became a 300-seat sanctuary, and the first service was held on February 14, 1993; later renovations added classrooms and a full kitchen upstairs. Its beliefs join the Trinity, the authority of the Bible, salvation through Christ, Spirit baptism and spiritual languages, healing, freedom from addiction, and personal transformation. The site lists gatherings on first and third Wednesdays but displays both 5:30 and 6:30 p.m. in different places, so visitors should confirm that midweek hour. Sunday at 10 remains the consistent starting point.
