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.

Willowdale Men

Our aim is to cultivate a relationally adventurous community of men as we pursue Jesus together.

New Men’s Fall Equipping Groups

This fall, we’re launching men’s equipping groups with our Loving Jesus: Discovery Bible Group. This is a 10-week study designed to help men deepen their relationship with Christ as we will look at key moments in the life of Jesus, discover the depth of God’s grace and unconditional love and learn a simple, practical method of Bible study and prayer that you can continue using long after the group ends. This discipleship-focused group is designed to help men grow together as followers of Jesus in a small-group setting. Interested?  Fill out our Connections Form.

WILLOWDALE FIRES

No pressure. Just presence.

The nights are getting cooler, and it’s the perfect season to gather around a fire. FIRES is a simple, no-pressure space for men to connect — to swap stories, talk about life and faith, and share real community.

Bring yourself, a camp chair, and a willingness to slow down. FIRES isn’t about fixing anything — it’s about showing up, being seen, and walking alongside other men in a meaningful way.

No sign-ups. No agenda. Just men, fire, and good conversation. If you have questions or just want to learn more, contact Brett Foester or any one of our campus hosts.
