Welcome!
Welcome to Schoeneck Moravian Church, located in a “beautiful corner” of Nazareth, Pennsylvania!
Are you visiting Schoeneck for the first time? Looking for a church home in the Lehigh Valley? Perhaps you are just interested in learning more about Schoeneck Moravian Church and experiencing Moravian worship?
We are so glad you are visiting our website — you can learn more about what we do at Schoeneck and about the heritage and traditions of the Moravian Church. We encourage you to look at the various pages to see the many different ways we are living out our mission statement of following Jesus in loving and serving all.
Join Us For Worship!
We hope you will be inspired by what you see here to join us for worship.
Our worship services are on Sundays at 9:30 am,
with Summerfest for children ages 3 through 5th grade.
We encourage you to join us in person for worship in our beautiful sanctuary. Congregational worship is our shared opportunity for spiritual growth and faithful fellowship. When we worship together, a special bond is formed between us that comes from feeling Jesus Christ’s presence among us. Come add your voice, your spirit, and your smile — we can’t wait to worship with you!
We live-stream our 9:30 am worship service on YouTube for those who can’t join us in person. Please click here to view the most recent live-stream, or to see videos of past worship services.
For your convenience, our sanctuary is air-conditioned and universally accessible.
Please click here for more information about our worship services.
We can’t wait to see you in church!
Join Us for Vacation Bible School!

Monday, July 20 – Friday, July 24, 2026
9:00 am to 12 noon
Schoeneck Moravian Church invites your Rock Star to share fun, faith-filled activities and make new friends at our Vacation Bible School (VBS) from the Go Fish Guys: Kickin’ It Old School, an 80s retro, rock-and-roll concert VBS!
Your grandparents’ music is cooler than you think – Kickin’ It Old School features classic hymns reimagined for a new generation. In a world that’s constantly chasing the next big thing, God and His Word have never changed. With music, storytelling, crafts, games, and snacks, kids will travel from Creation through the Cross to the Resurrection — learning that the God they’re singing about is the same yesterday, today, and forever.
VBS will be held Monday, July 20 — Friday, July 24 from 9:00 am to 12 noon at Schoeneck Moravian Church (316 N. Broad St. Ext. Nazareth). Ages 3 through 5th grade. Children do not need to be Moravian or members of Schoeneck to attend. We welcome ALL children from the community and other churches to join us for VBS. REGISTER NOW!
Download the Registration Form for Kickin’ It Old School here.
We are always in search of Bible story leaders, craft leaders, game leaders, and kitchen helpers. Youth in 6th grade and older are encouraged to serve as class helpers. The only requirement is to love God and children, AND if over 18 years old you must have the proper clearances on file at the church. (Background checks and clearances are provided with no cost to the volunteer. Please contact the Church Office for more information.)
To volunteer to help with VBS, please download the Volunteer Registration Form here.

John Hus Holy Communion / Joyful Noise Offering / Snack & Yak
Our worship services in the summer are on Sundays at 9:30 am with Summerfest for children ages 3 through 5th grade. We encourage you to join us in person for worship, but we also live-stream our 9:30 am worship service on YouTube for those who can’t join us in person. Schoeneck will remember and honor John Hus with a service of Holy Communion on Sunday, July 5th. The service commemorates the occasion of the martyrdom of John Hus, whose teaching and preaching in the early 15th century gave rise to what is modern the Moravian Church today.
A Joyful Noise Offering takes place on the first Sunday of each month. The children present will collect loose change from the congregation. Proceeds go to Moravian Open Door, a non-profit organization committed to providing transitional housing and supportive services to those experiencing homelessness, those who are distressed, and the underserved population of New York City.
Join Us for Snack & Yak in the Fellowship Hall after our worship service for delicious snacks, beverages, and wonderful fellowship!
