Schwenkfelders Then and Now
We’ve been doing this since 1734…and that’s just in America
Schwenkfelder churches are rich with Christian tradition and are located in Southeastern Pennsylvania.
Our denomination encourages everyone to join us at the Central Schwenkfelder Church for the United Choir Concert on December 6 at 2:30.
The United Schwenkfelder Choir is an ecumenical, non-denominational choir that performs every December to start off the Christmas session. Under the direction of Sally House, the choir is comprised of members from over 30 area churches.

Caspar Schwenckfeld’s Aim
My conclusive opinion, writing, motive,
and faith, in brief,
are directed to the end that we may become true Christians
and in the sight of God - just, upright, and blessed;
that we may learn to recognize correctly, God the Father
and Jesus Christ the Son (true God and man)
as our Lord in the Holy spirit,
the spirit of grace and the riches of God in our hearts.
