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.
If you are interested in becoming baptized and/or a member here at Crescentville Church,
please talk with Pastor Randy.

Mission Support Opportunity
Lighthouse Fellowship UMC in Glenside (served by Pastor Cindy Brubaker) is organizing a Mission Trip to the Ashville, NC area from July 19th to 26th to help rebuild after last year’s devastation from Hurricane Helene. They are looking for 4 more people who can do inside home repairs, especially PAINTING and/or OUTSIDE YARD CLEAN-UP. If you think you would like to participate in this mission opportunity, please see Pastor Randy. Lighthouse Fellowship is also accepting monetary donations for trip materials and supplies. If you would like to donate to this effort, you can give those monies to Pastor Randy (checks can be made out to “NC Mission”). Their goal for this is $5,000, with any donations that exceed that amount going to support other relief efforts in this stricken area.
