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!
