McKinley CU

Worship Services

Whether worshipping with us online or in-person, you’ll find a casual, relaxed, open-minded atmosphere at McKinley. When worshipping in-person, you’ll see more blue jeans than ties and heels. Music and art play an important role in our worship. We relish singing as a congregation and enjoy the talents of our choir and instrumentalists. If you’ve attended church before, you’ll experience a creative and progressive take on the traditional Presbyterian liturgy structure.

We take the safety of our congregation seriously. We will continue monitoring and adapting as needed based on CDC, CUPHD, and PC(USA) guidance.
