Holy Cross United Methodist Church

About this church

Holy Cross United Methodist Church in Reading, Pennsylvania, gathers for Sunday worship at its North Fifth Street building, with a Zoom option for those who prefer to join online. The contact page lists the service time as 11 a.m. for both the Reading building and Zoom, while the home page mentions a 10 a.m. Zoom gathering, so visitors should confirm the current time with the office. The church calls itself an inclusive community committed to sharing God's love, and its reconciling statement uses the phrase open hearts, open minds, open doors.

The building is also used by community organizations, including a Head Start program, a local theater group and a community prevention partnership. Church members have read to Head Start classes, and the church has held a Trunk or Treat event. Parking is available in the rear of the building. The office is open Monday through Thursday from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. and closed on Fridays and weekends. The church's history traces Methodism in Reading back to 1822, when early Methodists began meeting in the city. The website also lists a page about giving, with several ways to donate, and links to Facebook and YouTube.
