Our Services are held on Sundays @ 9AM, in a church building in the heart of downtown Haverhill (17 Newcomb St., Haverhill, MA). We share space with two other churches that both meet later on Sundays. It’s a beautiful partnership.

You’ll find plenty of free parking in the Haverhill City Hall lot, steps from our front door.

Come in what you’re comfortable in. You’ll see everything from button downs and dresses to sweat pants and bare feet.

At the entrance, you’ll meet our friendly greeters, fill out a name tag (we all wear them!), grab some coffee, a couple breath mints, and make your way into the sanctuary (if you have kids who want to join Kids Commons, register them at the computer located at the Kids Commons table in the foyer).

You’ll experience both time-honored and contemporary elements at Haverhill Commons.

Each service opens with the singing of our call to worship, followed by congregational singing. We typically sing a combination of hymns and contemporary songs, all chosen in light of the passage being preached. We then greet each other with the Peace of Christ, after which a member of our staff team or advisory council briefly shares any announcements and invites us to continue our worship with the giving of our offering - the time, treasure, and talent God has given us to love and serve others.

We then stand for the reading of God’s word and respond with the singing of the Doxology. We respond to our 20-30 minute Sermons with congregational singing, and close our service with a benediction, spoken over all the people. Our worship continues with an invitation to stay for SoulFood (more info below).

Kids are an huge part of our community and all children are welcome to worship with the congregation during our Sunday services. To help kids focus and participate on Sunday mornings, we provide handouts, blank paper, colored pencils, fidgets, and more at the Kids Commons table in the foyer. In addition to these accommodations, we also provide the following developmentally geared opportunities for kids to join Kids Commons:

Nursery and Preschool: Each Sunday, our youngest children are welcome to join Kids Commons where we provide developmentally appropriate space for them to encounter God. After each service, parents receive an email with the lesson covered and follow up activities to complete as a family. 

Kindergarten through 2nd Grade: Every other week, we welcome children K-2nd grade to join their peers in Kids Commons during the sermon.

3rd through 5th Grade: Every other week we welcome kids 3rd through 5th grade to join their peers in Kids Commons during the sermon.

Following the service we gather together over SoulFood and connect with one another over bagels, donuts, or perhaps even a fresh apple popover! We would love to welcome you and introduce you to others within The Commons! Please stick around and fill out a communication card to get more connected.
