Children’s Nursery
Our nursery is a warm, colorful room located in the basement. It is open from 9:00am until noon Sundays, for infants and children up to 5 years old. It is staffed by 2 college students majoring in education or child development. All nursery workers have clearances and enjoy working with children.

Junior Church
Junior Church meets during both services. After the children’s sermon, the children are taken downstairs by a teacher who provides an age related discussion related to the scripture reading and sermon heard by the parents. All teachers have appropriate clearances.

Youth
Class is at 10:00am in our newly remodeled and painted classrooms in the basement. Classes are held for Pre-school through Senior High.

Confirmation
Youth (6th Grade and up) are invited to participate in Confirmation classes preparing young adults to be effective Christians in the world and church. Each monthly session will consider a different aspect of the church's presence within the world and explore actively how we can make a difference! Contact Pastor Pam for more information or to volunteer your help.
 

Adult Christian Education is at 10:00am 

Cross and Crown Class

This class membership is “senior citizens” or the mature group. They study the Adult Bible Studies from Cokesbury Publishing.  The class meets in the parlor and starts with “HUGS” for all; so if you don’t understand the lesson, come for the HUG.

The Seekers
This class is a multi-generational discussion group which meets in the Fellowship Hall.  The discussion leader is Gary Wakefield.

College & Young at Heart

This class meets regularly but uses different rooms in the church.  Just ask anyone where the class is meeting any particular Sunday and join in the lively discussions.  
 

Vacation Bible School

We participate with other local churches to provide VBS each summer, usually the last week of June. Needless to say, the children always have a great time!

Farmer’s Market

In the summer we participate in the Farmer’s market in town with a booth of various fresh vegetable, baked goods etc. as a way to reach out to the community and raise funds for missions.
 

Slippery Rock is a member of the Western PA Annual Conference of the United Methodist Church through which we exercise our role as part of a connectional church, “the Power of One.”  As a church and as individuals we find our fingerprints of service throughout the community and around the globe.

As a church body, we contribute support to the Ambridge Fellowship, Cub Scout Pack, Six Special Sundays of Awareness, Hurricane relief, and global relief through UMCOR.

You will find our members offering themselves as volunteers throughout the community, food programs, Volunteers in Mission, Habitat for Humanity and other similar missions all in the name of Jesus.
