Welcome to Hershey Free Church
You might be wondering what's it really like at Hershey Free. Simply stated, we want you to learn who Jesus is and how to connect with him. Experience God's love and find ways to share that love. Find community with others on the same journey. We are a community of people learning to love and follow Jesus Christ. We are all on the same journey, but none of our paths look exactly the same. We make mistakes. We grow.
Want to know the best part? No matter what you've been through or what questions you might have about God and faith, our church is a place you'll find the love, grace, and forgiveness Jesus gives to everyone. We would love to meet you and help you get connected at Hershey Free.
What to Expect
Worship Services: Our services are approximately 70 minutes in length and include worshiping through songs, teaching, and practicing spiritual rhythms. This might be a time of prayer, reading Scripture, or hearing a story of God's faithfulness.
Service Times:
JULY SCHEDULE: 10:30 AM ONLY
Resuming 9 and 10:30 AM services on August 3.
We livestream both services. They can be found on our YouTube channel.
Summer Rest and Reset | July 1 | 10:30 AM service only
During July, there will be no traditional CORE, KidStep, Connect Groups, or worship services. We will have one combined worship service at 10:30 AM. At 9 AM, everyone is invited to the elective, Around the World in 4 Weeks, where we will hear from a different missionary each week. This is a chance for us, as a church, to have a rhythm of rest and give our ministries time to reset and prepare for the fall. We encourage families to worship together and are excited to see multiple generations together. We will end the month of July with an all-church picnic on July 27 at 12 PM in the back parking lot.
Environment: We encourage you to come as you feel comfortable. Clothing styles are diverse and vary. Coffee and tea are provided during both services.
Kids & Students
Kids: Our KidStep ministries serve children birth through 5th grade at both our 9 and 10:30 AM services. KidStep wants to partner with you as parents by "joining children on their spiritual journey." For security reasons, we have a check-in and check-out system. You can find additional information, including events and online resources on our KidStep page.
Students: CORE is our ministry for Middle and High School students. They meet on Sundays at 10:30 AM in the Core Cafe. On Wednesdays, students meet at the church from 6:45 to 8:45 PM. The only exception to this is the first Wednesday of each month when they meet in home groups. Reach out to our CORE staff for details. You can find contact information as well as events on the CORE page. We encourage you to worship together as a family over the summer. CORE Sundays will begin again September 8 at 10:45 AM in the Core Cafe.
