A Changing Church for Changing Times
We describe our congregation as a changing church for changing times. We celebrate our multicultural, multi-generational Church family.
Our church family includes people from Sierra Leone, Liberia, Ghana, Kenya, Jamaica, Trinidad, St. Vincent Island, Romania, Pakistan, and Hungary,
as well as some who grew up in the Crescentville neighborhood and others who are new to the area.
Please know you are welcome to be a part of the change! We invite you to join with us as we seek God’s leading us to be a welcoming place in our community.
We welcome you to
worship with us in our sanctuary.
Sunday's 10:30 AM
Our worship service is recorded and the video is available on Facebook, YouTube,
and our website by Sunday evening.
Pastor
Brendan Van Gorder
An Important Announcement from Pastor Brendan:
Dearly Beloved,
I have accepted a job offer to be the Music Teacher at Overbrook High School in the Fall. You will have a new pastor on July 1st. My last day will be June 23rd and we can have a sendoff after service. This decision was very hard for me because you all are such a loving and inclusive and amazing church. I loved Sundays with you, but Monday-Friday was hard for me as an extrovert, and I think that having thirty kids to deal with each hour of the day will be right in line with my gifts and calling. Thank you so much for all the love that you've poured into me, and I know that God will walk with you and establish your next phase of this discipleship with Jesus in a healthy and beautiful way.
God Bless You!
Sincerely,
Pastor Brendan
