Where is the TUCC?
Our church is located at 60 East High Street in Gettysburg, PA. Please refer to Mapquest below for directions to our location. For worship, please enter our main entrance located on East High Street.
Where should I park?
Our main parking lot is on Stratton Street across from the church. It has a large sign at the entrance with the name and picture of our church on it. We also have additional parking in a lot on East HIgh Street which adjoins the church property. There are three spaces designated for handicapped persons on East High Street adjacent to the main entry of the church.
What time are the services?
We have two regular Sunday services that begin at 8:15 am and 10:30 am. Sunday school starts at 9:15 am. If your children will be joining us for daycare or Church School, plan to arrive before 9:15 a.m. Our worship schedule during the summer months (1st Sunday in July until the Sunday before Labor Day) starts at 9:00 am. To access special service schedules for Easter and Christmas, please check our website or call our Church office.
How long do services last?
Services last approximately 60 to 75 minutes.
What about Sunday School?
Our Church School meets each Sunday, September through May at 9:15 am. Classes are provided for nursery through adult. Parents can bring their children to their classrooms beginning at 9:00 a.m. Children remain in the classroom until their parents pick them up after the service.
In addition to Sunday mornings, we have an on-going study group that meets on Monday evenings from 6:00 pm until 7:30 pm. Their studies are usually based on books by contemporary writers. Everyone is welcome to participate.
Is the church handicapped-accessible?
An elevator or "lift" unit is located just inside the main entry. It is used to transport persons (in wheelchairs or those who are unable to use stairs) from the entry level to the sancuary and gathering area. Those with physical limitations who wish to attend functions in Fellowship Hall may enter it from an inclined walkway located on the west side of the building. Handicapped-accessible Restroom facilities are avialable on two floors - near the entrance and on level with Fellowship Hall.
What makes us unique?
Trinity United Church of Christ is a historical church having laid its cornerstone on May 22, 1851. In 1863 this building served as a hospital for wounded soldiers of both armies during the “Battle of Gettysburg.” In 1918 it served as a “Y” hut for the soldiers of Camp Colt during World War I. Our church is part of an eight-church tour in Gettysburg that runs every Wednesday during the summer months. It is one of four surviving churches in the area that were built prior to the Civil War.
