Trinity Church has been an active and vibrant presence in Hatboro since 1955. We are a purposeful Christian community and we seek to follow Jesus Christ as he is revealed to us in God’s Word, the Bible. We welcome you to join us and trust you’ll find us to be a warm, hospitable, and joyful group of people reflecting all ages and stages of life. We look forward to meeting you. Here’s a brief description of what you can expect as you prepare to join us.
Location
We are located at 151 W County Line Road, in Hatboro. You can trace the best route from your place to us on the map below:
Once you have found our location you will find ample parking behind the church building, handicapped parking along both sides of the building, and a wheelchair ramp at the west entrance. Someone will greet you at our main entrance, the doors nearest the rear parking lot. You will want to make your way to the upper level where you will be greeted by our ushers who will be able to direct you to the right places at the right times.
Worship
Our worship services are held in the auditorium, the largest room on the upper floor. Feel free to sit wherever you like. You will find that our worship services are predominantly traditional. Here you will find our most recent order of worship. Our services are led by one of our pastors, a pastoral intern, or one of our ruling elders and we invite you to follow their leadership. They let us know when we should stand, sit, and sing or pray. You will not be asked to stand to introduce yourself or to pray out loud. We sing hymns and a few select contemporary songs. Our singing is typically accompanied by an organ, piano, and occasionally other varied instruments. If you don’t know a song we’re singing you can simply follow along silently. We use a video projector to display all the music and the readings you need to know and they are easily visible from any part of our Auditorium, but we also have large print copies of the songs and readings, as well as listening assistance devices, large print bibles and printed hymn music–you can solicit them from an usher at the door.
We celebrate the Lord’s Supper during the morning service on the first Sunday of each month. If you are trusting in Jesus Christ and have publicly confessed your faith in him in another church we welcome you to join us in this holy meal. We provide regular bread and a gluten-free option, and we offer a choice of wine or grape juice. We invite participants to come to the front of the room to take individual servings before returning to their seats at which time we eat and drink together. If you can't or are unable, an elder will come to you with a serving tray.
Our services are paperless and we do not pass an offering plate. You can access the morning’s order of worship through our website or you can capture it through a QR code you’ll find on the menu board just outside the main doors to our Auditorium. We also provide a live-streamed version of this service to be viewed at home and around the world.
Offering
Each Sunday morning we receive an offering which is one way we express our gratitude to God for what he has done for us and given to us. We use these monies to maintain the ministries the Lord has given us to do. We do not expect or depend on you, as a guest, to give. If you do wish to give out of gratitude to God and to support our ministries you will find offering boxes at the back door of the Auditorium or you may use our online giving option.
Sunday Evenings
Our evening service is in most ways similar to the regular Sunday mornings. Yet, it provides a different opportunity to join the fellowship of our family in the faith as we give all an occasion to share specific prayer requests and offer items for praise and thanksgiving. Because of that, this service is live but not live-streamed, and the sermon (only) is recorded and posted on our website later. We want to protect the privacy of those who share their prayer requests and the identities of those for whom we pray. As with the morning service, you are welcome to stay behind to make and meet new friends.
Children
If you have small children and prefer to worship together as a family we encourage you to do so! Your little ones are more than welcome to join us: we love to hear their attempts at participating, even those that parents may feel embarrassed of–don't be! Yet, we recognize that small children might find it challenging to sit for a whole service. If you or they need a break or if you are concerned that they are disrupting the worship of those sitting near you may wish to take them to either the Social Hall or to Rooms 110/112 on the lower level. You will be able to watch the service live and your children will have the freedom to squirm. Feel free to break out the books and toys.
Dress
If you are planning a visit you might be wondering if we have an unwritten dress code. Our members and friends arrive in anything from casual to business casual and you will not be judged for what you wear.
Once again, welcome. If you still have questions about what to expect feel free to call the office and someone will be glad to speak with you directly.
