About
Camp Hill Presbyterian Church
Devoted to Christ,
Called to Serve.
Camp Hill Presbyterian Church is a vibrant community church in the heart of Camp Hill called to worship God, grow in Christ, share Spirit-filled life, and serve in the Susquehanna Valley and beyond.
Mission & History
On September 21, 1916, 47 people gathered in the upper room of the Camp Hill Borough Hall to organize a new Presbyterian church.
In 1925, they marched up the street to our current sanctuary.
At the congregation's centennial celebration in 2016, the congregation made the march once again to celebrate an ongoing legacy of service in the Camp Hill Borough and beyond through impactful worship and spiritual formation, vibrant music and arts programs, a locally-renowned church preschool, and longstanding partnerships with mission organizations.
At CHPC, you'll find a welcoming community building fresh on this storied legacy and, we hope, a loving, triune God calling us together in care and sending us out to serve.
Worship
Fresh expressions of worship form and uplift the congregation, ever-centered around the proclamation of the Word in Scripture and the administration of Sacraments.
The weekly Sunday Worship services follow the Christian liturgical calendar, interweaving prayer, music, reflection, ritual, offering, and our community life.
Share
As a congregation in the Presbyterian tradition, members of the church plan and facilitate the programs that live out our mission. Everyone is invited to join one of several Intergenerational Team to use their gifts.
There are regular opportunities for congregational and small group fellowship, and members are active in ministries of care and compassion.
Serve
CHPC shares God's blessings with the least of our neighbors near and far. Members provide volunteer and financial support to organizations that serve in areas such as food and basic needs, medical supplies, housing rehabilitation, disaster relief, homeless shelter, international mission, and many others.
Statement of Welcome & Inclusion
As followers of Jesus, we affirm the dignity and worth of every person as created in the image of God. We are committed to creating an inclusive space of belonging and safety. Therefore, this community of faith welcomes into full participation, membership, and leadership persons of diverse age, race, ethnicity, sexual orientation, gender identity, physical and mental ability, level of education, class, and income.
Rooted in the Reformed tradition, we affirm that “God alone is Lord of the conscience,” allowing for a breadth of diverse theological and biblical interpretations. We covenant to accept, respect, and love one another as we apply our faith in the circumstances of our lives and in the matters of our world.
