Bryn Mawr Presbyterian Church is a Christian community seeking to live in faith, abound in hope, and grow in love. Our five full-time pastors and two pastoral residents minister to our members, who come from throughout the greater Philadelphia area and have diverse religious backgrounds.  Together in faith, we affirm the inclusive love of God, made known through Jesus Christ, and seek to grow in personal faith and in compassion for the world. 

 

In all that we do, God is at the center. The act of worshiping God is the most important response we make, and we share God’s gifts as an expression of God’s love for each of us. We are committed to service, with many of our members involved in outreach and mission and a percentage of our budget supporting our ministry efforts beyond our own walls. We offer support and nurture for families of all configurations as we assist both parents and their children in their  faith development. We rejoice in the arts and glorify God through the beauty of artistic and musical expression.

 

Through our buildings, we hope to both shelter and inspire. Through our education programs, we wish to both inform and encourage. In the world around us, we work to display both love and justice. We find strength in friendship, fellowship, and faith.

 

As followers of Christ, we welcome all as we seek to know God in our midst. Come, join us! For more information, contact: Donna Barrickman, Director of Communications and Membership.
