Christian Education at Grace UCC:

Lifelong Faith Formation in Southside Allentown

At Grace United Church of Christ on Cleveland Street in Allentown, PA, we believe spiritual growth is for every age and stage. Whether you’re a curious child, a questioning teen, a reflective adult, or a lifelong learner—our Christian education and faith formation ministries are here to walk with you.

We are a neighborhood church that is growing in both depth and number. We welcome families, individuals, and seekers of all kinds to experience the joy of faith, learning, and community. Whether you’re looking for a church home in Allentown, a nurturing environment for your children, or a place to explore faith with others, there’s a place for you here.

 Nursery Care

Our Nursery is open year-round and provides a safe, nurturing space for our youngest children during Sunday worship. We currently have a joyful, growing group of young children and a deeply committed team who treasure each child’s presence.

Children and Youth Sunday School

We are excited to be rebuilding and revitalizing our programs for children and teens. Storytelling, hands-on learning, and opportunities to connect with the big questions of faith in age-appropriate ways are important, and we honor children’s wonder, creativity, and growing spirits.

Adult Faith Formation

Throughout the year, we offer seasonal adult studies, book groups, and forums for open-hearted conversation. Our approach is rooted in Scripture, shaped by thoughtful theology, and open to real-life questions. Whether you’re brand new to church or have been around a while, we welcome your voice and your story.

Special Notes:

• Sunday School Drop-Off Parking: If you’re dropping off a child and not staying for class, please use the Valet Parking spot (first on the left in our lot). This helps free up spaces for others.

• Children’s Bible Story Videos: Visit our Nursery Department to browse our collection of children’s Bible story videos (on VHS), available for families to borrow.

We know people are searching for churches in Allentown that are welcoming, inclusive, and spiritually enriching. We hope you’ll find Grace UCC to be all of that—and more. Come grow with us. The Spirit is moving. There’s room for you!
