In the midst of the rolling hills of western York County, Philadelphia UMC is a close-knit group of people pursuing faith in the God who created all things and each of us in particular - God the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.
Wherever you've been, wherever you are, or wherever you're going, you should feel welcome to join us anytime in fellowship, worship, service and mission.

Want to know what's happening?
Monthly gatherings like "Family Night" or the Men's & Women's night offer time to get together with a meal. The youth group meets on Sunday nights, and other activities for kids go on year-round -- like VBS in the Summer and Trunk-or-treat in the Fall. Adults and young adults can find small group time, join a sports team (softball and volleyball), or retreat together. Senior adults host monthly luncheons and more.
Weekly worship is on Sunday mornings at 9:45. Over the calendar year we observe special holiday services, along with creative experiences involving drama and music, like our cantatas or the Living Last Supper. Please consider visiting or participating. The choir is always open to newcomers, and a nursery is available for young children.
Meeting practical needs in the community means supporting individuals, families, and agencies like PATH. We partner with our sister-church, Bethel UMC in Rock Hill, to operate the men's homeless shelter in the Winter. We also send mission teams to Salkehatchie in Beaufort, SC, and to Mississippi with the UMVIM, and more.
