Sunday School & Service Time Change

Beginning Sunday, May 24, Sunday School will be held from 9:00–10:00 a.m., followed by one combined worship service at 10:15 a.m. This service will include both hymns and our Praise Band.

The church will open at 8:50 a.m. to allow time for everyone to arrive and get settled before Sunday School begins.

Junior Church will continue to be offered during the service for children ages 2 through 5th grade. Please note that the nursery will not be staffed from June through August to give our volunteers a short break; however, it will remain open as a cry room.

These changes were approved by the Church Council on March 19, 2026. Once a new pastor is hired, service times may be adjusted. Until then, this will be the ongoing schedule.

If you have any questions or need additional information, please contact the church office.

We have officially joined the Global Methodist Church. Our official name is Second Avenue Global Methodist Church of Altoona.

We will use the following names: Second (2nd) Avenue (Ave) Global Methodist Church or Second (2nd) Avenue (Ave) Church. Any questions on our new Denomination or name please contact the church office.
