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, Nigeria 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.
Crescentville UMC Staff-Parish Relations Committee is happy to announce that
Rev. Randy Brubaker has agreed to help us as a quarter time interim Pastor.
Quarter time is preparing worship, leading worship, and sick/pastoral visits if needed. He will be with us until June 30, 2025.
We are grateful that Pastor Randy is willing to leave his well-deserved retirement
to help us through this time of transition to a new Pastor in July 2025.
