Bern Reformed United Church of Christ

About this church

Bern Reformed United Church of Christ worships Sundays from 9:30 to 10:30 a.m. at 3196 Bernville Road in Leesport, with the service broadcast on Facebook Live. Children begin in worship with their families and leave after the children’s message for classroom activities. The congregation invites both casual clothing and traditional Sunday dress and describes its worship as family-oriented, Bible-based, musical, and welcoming.

Founded in 1736, Bern was among Pennsylvania’s early German Reformed congregations and later shared its building with a Lutheran congregation. Its long history continues through local work supporting food programs, community charities, and other mission projects. A Good News Group prepares decorated welcome bags with information and small gifts for guests, showing that the invitation is organized rather than merely stated. The single Sunday hour keeps the first visit simple; families should arrive in time for children to begin in the sanctuary. Communion and seasonal services appear on the current worship schedule, and winter weather has occasionally caused cancellations, so checking the homepage before a long drive is especially worthwhile.
