Overbrook
Presbyterian
Church

Overbrook Presbyterian Church is a welcoming and
diverse Christian community that actively seeks to
love and serve God, each other, and the world.

The Christian life is meant to be
shared together, and Overbrook
offers an open and inclusive community where all are welcome.

At the heart of our faith is the belief that
God's love is revealed to us most fully in
Jesus Christ—his life, death, and resurrection.

We invite you to come in and
take a closer look at our church.
Come join us for worship.

Blessing of the Animals Sunday, October 1, 2023 3:00 PM: All creatures great and small are invited to gather on the church lawn for a special blessing. Pastor Adam and Seminarian Marc welcome special companions, whether they bark, meow, sing, swish, or slither. If your companion pet is unable to travel, please feel free to bring their picture. Favorite stuffed animals are also welcome. In the event of inclement weather, the Blessing of the Animals will take place in the Sanctuary.
Kensington Project Sunday, October 8 9:30 AM: For some time, members of Overbrook have been visiting neighbors in Kensington to deliver food, toiletry items, clothing, blankets, and more. What we also bring is the love of God. Youth will be making meals and preparing other items to deliver. We are also setting aside space in the church to collect needed items on an ongoing basis.
Fall Inquirer’s Class Sundays, October 15 and October 22, 2023 9:00 AM: Have you been attending OPC and considering membership here? Are you simply curious to know more about Presbyterianism and how our church is organized and makes decisions? Do you want to know more about our members and opportunities to serve our community? Bring your burning questions and join Adam Hearlson in the Williamson Room for an exploration of all things Overbrook. Coffee and refreshments will be served to fortify our robust discussion. RSVP to Elizabeth Mendoza, and please let us know if you would appreciate childcare during these classes.
Taste of Overbrook Dinner & Auction Saturday, October 21, 2023 5:30 PM: For those of you who are new to OPC, “Taste of Overbrook” is a celebration of the many cultures that bring us together. You can purchase tickets online or at Fellowship Hour on Sundays (Early Bird pricing of $5 off available through Sunday 9/24!); Organizing this event is a big task, and the Stewardship Committee needs your help! Currently, at the top of our to-do list, is gathering items for the live auction. Perhaps you have a mountain or beach house weekend to share? Tickets to a local sporting or music event? Willingness to prepare dinner for friends? Contact Keedra Carroll with any ideas or if you would like to help gather items for the live auction.; If you have a favorite dish you’d like to make, sign-up sheets will be available on Sundays at Fellowship Hour, or you can contact Carol Rozmiarek.

Welcome to Overbrook Presbyterian Church.

We are a vibrant, growing congregation of about 325 members located since 1889 at the corner of City and Lancaster Avenues, in the historic Philadelphia neighborhood of Overbrook Farms.

Our church attracts members from throughout the Philadelphia metro area, from city and suburb alike. We are a multicultural church that values our tremendous diversity, and warmly embraces all people as full members of God’s family.

Overbrook is affiliated with the Presbyterian Church (USA), though we have a thoroughly ecumenical spirit. Our members come from a wide variety of denominational backgrounds to form a community centered in Jesus Christ.

We invite you to come in and take a closer look at our church. And join us for worship, if you are able. We would love to welcome you to share in our journey of faith here at Overbrook.
