Sunday School

Adult Sunday school is one of Swatara's strengths. We have adult classes, a High School/Middle School class, one class for elementary children, plus a Pre-School class. Sunday school runs from 9:00- 10:00 a.m.

We also have a Children's Church during the 10:15 a.m. morning worship service.

Community

The church facilities are a meeting place for New Generation Ministry, Inc. (Hispanic congregation), Christ Fellowship Prayer Tabernacle (Exacting Truth Ministries), The Samuel School (a Christian school for student Pre-K through grade 12), YouthWorks mission teams during seven weeks each summer, Girl Scouts, Narcotics Anonymous, a UGI retirees group, and TE Volleyball group. We are also a polling place for our community.

Men's Ministry

The Men's Breakfast meets the first and third Saturdays of each month beginning at 8:00 a.m. in the church kitchen. All men and boys 14 and older are invited. A Bible study follows the breakfast and concludes by 9:00 a.m. Attendance usually runs 30-40. The food is great and the Bible study is even better!
