Trinity Great Swamp United Church of Christ

About this church

Trinity Great Swamp United Church of Christ in Spinnerstown, Pennsylvania, gathers for worship on Sunday mornings at 9 a.m. in a historic building dating to 1873, at the corner of Spinnerstown Road and County Line Road. The congregation was founded in 1734 and describes itself as one of the oldest German Reformed congregations in America. Services include a short time with the children, and communion is celebrated at least once a month at an open table with gluten-free bread and wine or grape juice. Afterward, coffee and snacks are served in a multipurpose room where visitors can pick up information and sign up for projects. From Memorial Day to Labor Day, worship moves outdoors to a wooded area called the Grove.

Children may follow a teacher to classrooms after the children's time, and activity bags are available near the usher's table. Sunday school and an adult study and discussion group run during the school year, September through May. Music groups include a children's choir, a bell choir and a growing ensemble. The social ministry committee supports a food pantry, meals at a local Friends Meeting House, gifts and parties for nursing home and health center residents, and Bethany Children's Home. A monthly seniors' gathering called OWLS and the Trinity Walkers, a social exercise group open to people outside the church, meet during the year. Confirm times on the website or call the church office at (215) 679-7710.
