LENGTH AND FORMAT OF WORSHIP SERVICE

Our choir opens the service with an anthem. After the anthem, children who want to attend Sunday school are dismissed for their class. One of our lighthearted and friendly worship leaders then comes forward. Not sure why it started, but they have a longstanding tradition of sharing information about the designated “National Days” during the opening announcements.  We also have a very talented musician who plays traditional music on the piano or organ during service. We serve Holy Communion on the first Sunday each month. Our service typically lasts about one hour or less. Everyone is invited to enjoy coffee fellowship with refreshments after service.

AVERAGE ATTENDANCE AND OVERALL DEMOGRAPHIC MAKEUP

Our current weekly attendance is low. It hovers around 55 for worship with about 5 children in Sunday School.  Albeit small now, our sanctuary is large, our spirits are lifted, and we are actively seeking to grow our community. Currently, we are focused on creating new space for millennials and gen z. Our demographic makeup comprises a rich diversity of age, ethnicity, and family composition. Majority of our attendees are USA-born; however, we proudly boast of attracting and embracing people who immigrated here from five other countries. We receive continuous visitations from people who live in other states, that enjoy worshipping with us whenever they are in town.

COMMUNITY HUB

We collaborate closely with Montgomery Square United Methodist Church,  sharing the same pastor and co-hosting youth group and Bible study ministries that foster community and joint spiritual growth. Together, our churches organize a variety of annual activities and events. For example, we jointly organize holiday activities, community service projects, and youth retreats that bring members from both congregations together.

We share our space with the three non-profit groups listed below and we actively seek to welcome groups focused on mental health, education, or social services, and encourage interested organizations to contact us at chalfontumc@gmail.com for more information about our hosting process.
