Glenside United Church of Christ

About this church

Glenside United Church of Christ is a congregation combining worship, children’s learning, prayer, music, fellowship, food collection, and service. Its annual Appalachia Service Project involves high-school students in a year of teamwork, construction skills, fundraising, cultural learning, and a summer home-repair trip rather than treating mission as a one-week experience.

Children’s Sunday School begins at 9:30 a.m., followed by worship at 10:30 in person and by Zoom. Dress is casual, and on-street parking is described as plentiful. Marked accessible parking is on Wharton Road in front of the church, with a wheelchair ramp leading to the worship space. Communion is celebrated on the first Sunday each month and is open to everyone; worshipers pick up a Communion pack on entry or may bring their own elements. The church collects food for the Interfaith Food Cupboard during those first-Sunday services. After worship, the music director teaches children songs they perform periodically, while coffee and refreshments are available in the Gathering Space. Prayer Group meets on the second Tuesday at 10:30 a.m. Virtual worship archives offer another way to experience the community. The service page includes an asterisk beside the 10:30 schedule, so guests should check current announcements for exceptional Sundays. Nursery care and children’s security check-in are not specified.
