Park Street Church

What are services like?
The morning services tend to be more organ and hymns, although occasionally have a capella, new compositions, new hymns e.g., Keith and Kristyn Getty, and praise and worship music. The 8:30am service tends to have the most younger kids. The evening service tends to be be predominantly people under 40. Since there are two levels in the church (sanctuary and balcony), the dynamic is different for each. Services tend to last approximately 1.5 hours. Communion is served to all baptized believers regardless of denomination on the First Sunday of the Month. The central portion of the worship service is the sermon.

What is the community like?
As the services tend to be "large for New England," community at Park Street Church is experienced at several other levels: 1) in small groups or Bible studies, 2) at affinity group ministries (i.e., for those who have a lot of similarities, such as being in college, in graduate school, young adults, engaged, newly married, toddlers of various ages, high school, etc.), 3) serving together in formal and informal ministry, 4) in between the morning services at coffee hour, 5) after services over a meal (lunch or dinner)

What if I'm not a Christian?
You are always welcome to visit! At any given Sunday, approximately 16% at any given service self-report as "not a Christian". There are also many venues for discussing and understanding Christianity, including in the format of an informal class, "Christianity Explored." If people have questions, they would be welcome to ask these in this forum. Many elders and pastors and lay leaders are also interested in dialoguing on issues of spirituality and of faith.
