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

GGod 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.

TUESDAY MORNING WOMEN’S GROUPS – IN-PERSON

A Closer Look at Jesus through Spiritual Rhythms:  Answering God’s Invitation to Sacred Disciplines

Tuesday 9:15-11:15 am, January 16 – May 7 

The spiritual rhythms of sabbath, giving, fellowship, prayer, confession, Bible study, silence/solitude, worship, service and fasting – recenter our hearts and lead us into deeper relationship with God. We experience transformation and changed lives when our focus and attention are rooted in God, rather than the world around us. Scripture tells us that regular practice of these sacred disciplines is essential to living as God designed. And while this may seem daunting, “training for godliness promises benefits in this life and the life to come” (1 Timothy 4:8). Join us on a 12-week journey as we follow the example Jesus modeled throughout His ministry. We will learn the importance of each of these spiritual rhythms and practical ways to begin incorporating them into our lives today.

Note for our morning groups:  Service is built into our time in our groups, as a natural outpouring of our relationship with Christ.  We request that each of our women serve one morning this semester in our children’s program, modeling Jesus’ love for our little ones.

THURSDAY NIGHT WOMEN’S GROUPS – IN-PERSON

Blessed are the Chosen – Bible Study by Amanda Jenkins, Dallas Jenkins, and Douglas Huffman

Thursday Evenings, 6:30-8:30 p.m., beginning January 18

What Does It Mean to Be Chosen? Join us as we watch and discuss Season Two of the 8-week TV series The CHOSEN, using the interactive study guide to allow us to delve more deeply into each episode as we explore the life of Jesus. We will come to realize that we are called, cherished, and carried; have been made new and established; are now his witnesses; and more.

Being chosen by Jesus has beautiful and far-reaching implications—although it says even more about the Chooser than the “choosees”. We are loved because He’s love. We are saved because He’s merciful. We belong to the family of God because Jesus invites us, making the Bible and all its promises as true for us today as it was for God’s chosen nation.  This study includes light homework in addition to watching the show each week.

The Armor of God by Priscilla Shirer

Thursday Evenings, 7-8:30 p.m., beginning January 18

All day, every day, an invisible war rages around you—unseen, unheard, yet felt throughout every aspect of your life.  A devoted, devilish enemy seeks to wreak havoc on everything that matters to you:  your heart, your mind, your relationships, your dreams, your destiny. But his battle plan depends on catching you unaware and unarmed.  If you’re tired of being pushed around and caught with your guard down, this study is for you.  The enemy always fails miserably when he meets a woman dressed for the occasion.  The Armor of God is an action plan for putting on God’s armor and developing a personalized strategy to secure victory.  

THURSDAY NIGHT WOMEN’S GROUPS – ONLINE

Esther: The Hidden Hand of God by Lydia Brownback

Thursday 7:00 – 8:30 pm, January 11 – March 28 , Online 

The book of Esther reads much like a fairy tale: a young Jewish queen, her wise older cousin, an evil royal servant, and a self-centered king. But Esther is no fairy tale. From the beginning of the book to the end, God is the main character of the story.

This 10-session study will dig deeper into the book of Esther and learn how God is faithful to keep his promises and deliver his people. This story ultimately points to the gospel, revealing the need for a better deliverer, a better king, and a better kingdom than any found in this world.

How this study works: We will connect on Zoom each Thursday from 7:00 – 8:30 pm. Lessons will take around 1 ½ – 2 hours of preparation each week.There will be an opportunity to meet in person for fellowship and to participate in a service project. Please order your book in advance of our first session on Christianbook or Amazon. In addition to the book, there is an option on Amazon to purchase the Audible version.
