Welcome to Summit Presbyterian Church

We are a diverse and spirited congregation of the Presbyterian Church (USA), seeking to proclaim God's love in Christ through word and deed. We gather every Sunday morning at 10:00 a.m. We share joys and concerns, pray, sing and hear the Word proclaimed in scripture, sermon and music.

We come from many different backgrounds, and believe that the journey of faith is full of questions as well as joy. You can learn about our ministries, history and mission on this website. If you would like to worship God in a caring community, come "taste and see"! You can reach our pastor, Cheryl Pyrch, at (215) 438-2825 or cpyrch@summitpres.net

Sunday services start at 10:00 a.m.

Join us for worship in person or on Zoom!

BIBLE STUDY

On Wednesday evenings from 7:30 - 8:30 we study the scripture passage for Sunday, and then share joys and concerns as we gather for prayer. It’s a chance to connect mid-week and enjoy rich conversation. Access from the worship link above.

CONFRONTING CHRISTIAN NATIONALISM

Join with others from across the Presbytery for an evening of food, fellowship and learning on Tuesday, August 19, from 6-8 p.m. in the parlor. We’ll begin with pizza and then watch and discuss a video featuring the Rev. Jimmie Hawkins, Director of the Office of Public Witness of the PC(USA) and Amanda Tyler of the Baptist Joint Committee for Religious Freedom. Movie snacks provided. Please RSVP here. This event is being sponsored by an informal group of clergy and lay leaders from across the Presbytery wanting to address this important topic. Talk to Cheryl to learn more and/or if you’d like to be involved in the leadership team.

CHRISTIANS AGAINST CHRISTIAN NATIONALISM

The Summit Session voted to recommend the following Statement of Christians Against Christian Nationalism to the congregation for reflection and signing (it is for individual signers, not institutions): https://www.christiansagainstchristiannationalism.org/statement

All Christians are welcome to sign.

SUMMER WORSHIP

Beginning June 29, check the weekly message to learn if we will be in the sanctuary or in the Parlor. We will “call it” by Friday and go to the Parlor for uncomfortably hot days. There will also be signs out front.

ELDER DINER

Elder Diner is on a summer break and will return in the fall. Check back for next dates. We welcome seniors from the church and community (55 and over) to a home-cooked meal and joyous fellowship.
