It can be intimidating to show up to a room full of people you don’t know as “the new person."
But you know what? Almost every person at Iron Works has been exactly where you are—looking for a church in Phoenixville on the internet. We understand that you’re likely nervous, and we want to do as much as we can to help you feel prepared.
We’ve been there. Any questions we haven’t answered here? Ask us directly.
Getting There
Main Parking
Iron Works is located inside Franklin Commons, a mixed-use building on the north side of Phoenixville. We love that our home is a part of Phoenixville history, and that we are right the midst of other great businesses and community organizations…but it can sometimes make finding parking a bit of a challenge.
Don’t worry; we’ve saved the perfect spot for you. Just tap the button below for Google Maps directions straight to it.
Once you park, enter through the middle door (under the Iron Works Church sign), and follow the hallway straight to the worship service.
Other Parking
The bigger parking lot off of Franklin Avenue is often filled with parking attendants and signs from our neighbor, JRNY Church.
If you park up there, don’t worry, you’re still in the right place. Look for the signs directing you to Iron Works; you’ll have to walk past JRNY’s greeters and out through a courtyard (Campus Walk) to get to IWC.
Kids
Kids are always welcome in the service, noises and all. Coloring supplies and clipboards are available at the kids’ table in the cafe area.
Kids aged 0–4 can have a great time during part or all of the service in safe nursery care run by background-checked staff and volunteers.
Kids aged 2.5–2nd grade can also take part in fun children’s church classes during the sermon.
What’s a Service Like?
Services contain readings of scripture, prayers, preaching from the Bible, and communion every week. In worship, we focus on what God says to us in the Scriptures and how He calls us to respond.
Liturgy
Liturgy simply means “order of worship.” You can get a sense of the order IWC follows by taking a look at our Worship Guide. A liturgical service might be a little unfamiliar for you, and that’s okay. We aim to make it accessible for anyone, even if you’re not familiar with liturgy.
Music
You’ll hear a mix of familiar hymns (sometimes set to a new tune) as well as modern praise music on Sundays. Check out a Spotify playlist of what we’ll be singing this Sunday.
Preaching
In Iron Works sermons, the deepest questions of faith and life are asked and answered with all the fullness of orthodox Christianity. Check out our sermon archives for a sample of the preaching you’ll hear at Iron Works.
