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, Nigeria, 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.

Announcing the appointment
of our
incoming Pastor
Rev. Lori L. Reyes was born in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, and raised on the north coast of the beautiful island of Puerto Rico. Mother of two adult men.
Rev. Lori has served as a Local Pastor at Bridesburg United Methodist Church in Philadelphia County and Emilie United Methodist Church in Bucks County. She has participated in EPA Safe Sanctuary Committee and currently participates as an active member of the Latino Commission; Crossroads Walk to Emmaus Community of EPA and her last two appointments have been Cross Cultural/Cross Racial appointments.
Her mission is to apply the gifts that God has given her through her ministry of the local Church. The focus will be on the role of developing and equipping the spiritual formation of the local church, laypeople, and leadership. Her hopes are that through her contagious enthusiasm and love for the Gospel and the Church, she may inspire and lead others to Christ. Crescentville UMC is a vibrant, multicultural, multi-generational congregation mirroring the community in its leadership. Pastor Reyes’s love for all people will prove to be a wonderful match for this congregation and community.
