Our Church

Our Church

Willowdale Chapel is a nondenominational church founded in 1956. From our humble roots, we've grown to be a thriving body of 1,500 people. Today we are one church in two locations, with campuses in Kennett Square and Jennersville. We're passionate about Jesus and his Gospel, which offers the grace we all need every day. Whether they're longtime followers of Christ or just trying to figure it out for the first time, we love meeting people where they are and helping them grow in their faith.

Our Ministries

Our Ministries

We have all the core ministries that most churches have — children, youth and adult small groups — along with some "specialty" ministries that meet particular needs we sometimes face. Three of those — Celebrate Recovery, Re|engage (marriage) and Special Needs — offer distinctive help for some during the biggest challenges of their lives.

Our Outreach

Our Outreach

God intends to make all things new. That's why he sends us into the world with a gospel that touches—and begins to transform—all of life. Thus our Outreach Ministries are built on three pillars: Gospel Proclamation, Serving our Neighbors and Advocating for the Vulnerable. We organize around these key priorities to give full expression to God's love for the world.

Discipleship Group Core Courses

What is Discipleship?

A disciple is a student following in the footsteps of a master with the goal to be like the master. Being a disciple of Jesus is just that. We are called to be a disciple of Jesus and then to go out into the world to make disciples. We are called to share what we have received from Jesus and to pass on the blessing that we have been given. We invite you to join us as we follow his command to go and make disciples.

What are Discipleship Group Core Courses?

Our discipleship core courses are studies that are done in small groups where we learn to grow as disciples of Jesus. These are designed to equip us as disciples, who make disciples. Whether you are new to the faith or have been following Jesus for a long time, all are invited.

We have three core courses that correspond with each aspect of our mission: Love God, Love Others and Love the World. These courses will be offered throughout the year and are available at both campuses on Wednesday evenings or for a home study group.

Discipleship Group Core Courses

Loving Jesus Discovery Bible Group

This ten week Bible study looks at moments in the life of Christ that show His great love for us – God’s grace and unconditional love is the foundation of our faith. In this study, we will learn a method of Bible study and prayer to help us grow in our love for God.

Emotionally Healthy Relationships

This is a ten week workshop where we learn how we love each other. Life is about relationships and we will learn how discipleship in Jesus can deeply change our relationships. This course will give us tangible, lifelong skills to share the love of Jesus with others.

BLESS: Missional Rhythms for Everyday Life

This is a seven week course that teaches us to go out into the world. You will be equipped in discipleship in order to share the Gospel and engage in a lost and broken world. We will learn practical ways of doing outreach as we meet people where they are – whether they are near or far from God. 

We believe every person needs a community of people in which to belong, be known, and be loved. Our desire is to see every person connected to God, to each other, and to our mission together—and nothing fulfills that hope like a small group. They are great places to ask questions, to grow, and to build friendships, no matter where you are in life or faith.
