About this church
Jerusalem United Church of Christ currently holds blended Sunday worship at 9 a.m. in its outdoor church grove when weather permits, with a scheduled move to 10 a.m. and the sanctuary on September 27. A live praise band combines contemporary songs and traditional hymns. Facebook carries the service live, and a recording is posted to the church website afterward. Communion is served in the pews on the first Sunday. Refreshments are available around worship, giving newcomers a natural time to meet people.
During the school year, children ages five through twelve have Bible School, while staffed nursery care normally serves infants through age five. Summer nursery space remains available but without teachers. Youth meet after worship on the last Sunday of each month. Adult connection includes Bible study, grief support, and caregiver groups that are open beyond formal membership. Rooted in the German Reformed tradition and once shared with Lutherans, Jerusalem combines relaxed worship with faith in action. Its United Church of Christ identity emphasizes an open Communion table, thoughtful engagement between religion and science, advocacy, and changing lives. Because worship time, location, and child care shift seasonally, families should check the homepage immediately before visiting.
