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.

COMMUNITY BIBLE STUDY (CBS)

SOUTHERN CHESTER COUNTY CBS: Ruth, I&II Samuel & Ephesians

We are an interdenominational Women & Children’s Bible study. This 2026-27 class year we will be studying Ruth & I&II Samuel in the first half of the year and the book of Ephesians the second half of the year.

We will follow Ruth & Samuel on their faith journeys. They suffered the same struggles as us, such as deferred hopes & dreams, broken relationships, failures & traumas. It’s what they did with those disappointments that matters. They took their pain and anger to God, and we will see how God remained faithful.

Ephesians shows us a God of love, forgiveness & redemption. We will learn of God’s eternal plan to unite people who had been estranged from Him and one another into a beautiful community that reflects His glory to the world. This study will guide participants to engage with what it means to be reconciled to God, how that is possible, and the amazing benefits God gives as a result.

This Women/Children’s group meets at Willowdale Chapel – Jennersville Campus every Thursday morning from 9:15-11:15 and runs from September 2025 through May 2026. We have classes from birth through 5 yrs and homeschool classes for 6-14 yr olds. The homeschool classes always study the same subjects as their moms, just geared to their level. What a great way to engage & discuss the Bible with your children.

LONGWOOD CBS: GENESIS

Longwood CBS will be starting a 2-year study of the book of Genesis this year. Genesis is the story of Creation when God made the world and humanity. We will look in-depth at many stories that are familiar – the story of Adam and Eve, the fall, Noah, and finally the story of Abraham, the man who God called to leave everything and follow Him. New to CBS this year, this study is in-depth but succinct in the number of questions each week leaving time to enjoy more discussion in core groups. Those who may have been intimidated by previous CBS studies will find this study to be very doable.

Come join us for this exciting study of God’s Word in person at Willowdale Chapel – Kennett Campus on Tuesday mornings at 9:15 am. The in-person class is for both men and women and includes a children’s program for infants through age 5 and a homeschool program. Online groups are available for both men and women Tuesday evenings at 7:00 pm as well as online groups for women Tuesday mornings at 9:00 am.
