WHO ARE WE?
The answer is in our name. We’re Community Presbyterian Church of Ben Avon, and our community includes all who yearn to explore faith and what it calls us to do for all of our neighbors. We invite everyone to ‘Come just as you are… become the person you were created to be.’

Our services begin at 10:30 a.m. on Sunday. All are welcome to join us in person or on livestream.
