WELCOME to the Swarthmore United Methodist Church webpage. Since 1901, our congregation has provided a faithful witness to the love of God as expressed through the Methodist tradition. Our congregational community is comprised of many ages, single persons and families. We heartily seek to include all who want to put faith into action for the greater glory of God.

Our Sunday Worship Hours
Faith and Life Class at 9:00 AM
Worship at 10:30 AM (childcare provided)
Children's Sunday School at 10:45 AM

We are a congregation in the center of Swarthmore, Pennsylvania, USA. Our church is close to the campus of Swarthmore College, about 20 minutes from downtown Philadelphia on the R3 commuter rail line of the South Eastern Pennsylvania Transit Authority. Please see our Directions page to find a map to our church.

We seek to understand God's claim on our lives and grow in faith. This is a formidable task, but we are blessed to have each other in this life of discipleship at Swarthmore United Methodist Church. We guide and assist one another in the important work of living as faithful people. There is an old prayer that is particularly fitting for our life together:

 

Direct us, O Lord, in all our doings, with your most gracious favor,
and further us with your continual help, that in all our works,
begun, continued, and ended in you, we may glorify your holy name,
and finally, by your mercy, obtain everlasting life;
through Jesus Christ, our Lord. Amen.

 

In this spirit we gather, proclaim the Good News, and support each other in lives of faith. It is a blessing to toil in this vineyard with you all.

In thanksgiving and hope,
Russell J. Atkinson, pastor
