Derry Presbyterian Church-Hershey

If you are in the area and looking to attend a new church, then I’d highly recommend that you check out this amazing church.
When I moved into the area a few years ago, my family and I tried out a number of different churches, but there was just something about Derry that we each loved. At the time, I was younger, so I really loved the children’s bulletins. Instead of just little books to fill out in five minutes, Derry’s children’s bulletins will keep your kids occupied during the entire service with a variety of silent activities, which is really great! I remember enjoying them so much!
Derry really tries to welcome new members to their church, offering them a bread made by members, and a time after church for refreshments, allowing everybody to talk, and getting to know one another.
Their are a variety of people here, older younger, and lots of children, so their children’s program is great! Another program that is really great is the youth program, and the people that are so dedicated to continue improving it literally every single day!
Please, at least try this church out. It is like another home to me, and to so many others. I have made so many new friends here, and learned so much. There is so much more to derry than just an amazing service, and you should definitely check it out!

I’ve been to Derry Presbyterian four or five times since 1988, for my grandfather’s funeral, most recently earlier this year for my grandmother’s funeral. In between I attended a few services with my grandmother. Derry Presby is a welcoming church with a wonderfully friendly and astute minister whose ministry is one of welcomness and warmth. Also, I have found the intellectual level of religious thought here to be fairly decent. Of course, if you’re not a Calvinist, the church may not be to your liking.
In terms of the setting, the church itself is beautiful and feels like a very old-​world-​type church. The façade is brick, the layout easy to navigate, and the downstairs area cool and comfortable. Mostly, though, I was always pleased with the staff, the minister’s messages, and the parishioners I have met.
In sum, if you live or are in the Hershey area and need a good church, Derry Presby should be on your list of churches to try.
