Union Presbyterian Church of Kirkwood

5637 Street Road
717-529-2000

Back in 1816 the Spirit of God was stirring the hearts of this rural community through the preaching of the gospel. A group of people was stirred by the Spirit at a crossroads community called Union. That work has grown into what you will see and experience at Union should you visit us today. We are located in the midst of gently rolling hills in the countryside of southern Lancaster County. Our church structure is a large brick building with the historical lines of a house of worship. On Sunday morning the bell in the church tower tolls an invitation to the community to come worship with us.

A recent building addition has allowed us to more completely carry on with our task, which is outlined in God's Great Commission. That task is; to reach the lost and to make disciples; to love each other and to show God's love to our neighbors; to comfort the widows and to welcome the little children. Our Christian education program seeks to embrace that commission. On Thursday evening from 4:15 until 6:45pm. the KIDS J.A.M. (Jesus and me) program ministers to and teaches all school age children (Sept thru April, Grades K-5). On Wednesday at 6:45pm. until 8:30pm. the Ground Zero Ministry (Grades 6-12) offers time for young people from junior high through high school to fellowship and worship together.

Worship at Union Presbyterian offers variety. Our Sunday morning Contemporary Service at 9:00 am. allows the early risers to worship first thing in their day with the opportunity to hear Union's Worship Band. The 10:15 am. service is patterned after a more traditional experience. Each service offers simultaneous Sunday School classes for all ages and nursery.
