Come Ready to Worship!

Due to the structural condition of our historic building, we aren’t able to gather reliably and safely in our sanctuary at this time. This doesn’t prevent us from welcoming you to our vibrant church family.

We gather in-person for worship twice a month, on first and third Sunday, in the Chapel at Carlisle United Methodist Church. Everyone is warmly welcome to this in-person service. The Carlisle United Methodist Church is located at 333 South Spring Garden Street in Carlisle and the details are shared via our Facebook page.

All other activities are covered virtually via Zoom. We welcome you and want you to know that our doors, virtual or otherwise, are always open to you. May God bless and keep you.

Partnerships and Outreach

We are blessed with a loving and wide-ranging partnership with our sister Methodist church Carlisle United Methodist Church. When the physical condition of our sanctuary made regular in-person worship unpractical and unsafe (at the end of the COVID-19 crisis), Carlisle United Methodist Church kindly offered the use of their chapel as our second home.

We also enjoy a fruitful and active partnership with Second Presbyterian Church, in addition to our warm relationship with several other parishes, including St. Patrick across the street from us.

Every January, we host a well-attended MLK Luncheon and participate in our community’s Martin Luther King commemorations. We also regularly participate in community events, interfaith celebrations and educational opportunities.
