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.

Southern Chester County CBS: The God of Then is Still the God of Now.

Our 2023-2024 class will be studying Joshua, James & Revelation. We would love to have you join us as we study how God takes his people from slavery to redemption thru his Son, Jesus Christ. These books are not just history. They tell the story of God’s holiness, his grace and his faithfulness to those who choose to follow Jesus.

Longwood CBS: Ruth, 1 and 2 Samuel, and Ephesians

The Old Testament books of Ruth and 1 and 2 Samuel describe the faith journeys of men and women like us. While they may have been prophets or priests, or kings—but they were also widows, daughter-in -laws, sons and daughters, husbands and wives, fathers and mothers. They struggled in the same ways we do. They experienced deferred hopes and dreams, broken relationships, shameful failures and personal trauma, just as we do. It’s what they did with those disappointments that matters. Some of them took their pain and anger to God while others chose not to. In either case, we are going to see how God remained faithful.

Then we are going to transition after 18 weeks into Ephesians – a NT book where we will learn that even before the world ever came to be…God had his people in mind That is staggering and what is even more amazing is because of His great love, He chose, to forgive, and redeem them. He adopted them to be His very own beloved children. Ephesians tells the story 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 and even to the spiritual realms. 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. It will also give practical guidance for how to apply these eternal truths to your everyday life.

Longwood CBS’s host church is Willowdale Chapel-Kennett, 675 Unionville Road, Kennett Square, PA. We will meet Tuesday mornings from 9:15 – 11:00 a.m. We also have online groups available Tuesday morning and evening for women. Men’s groups are available in person Tuesday and online Tuesday evening. In addition, CBS provides care for infants through age 2, and curriculum based care for age 2-K, for children coming with a parent, grandparent, or caregiver.
