The Spring Offering is our annual campaign to raise awareness and resources for mission in our presbytery - especially church planting. 

We are encouraging each of our 12 congregations to hold a special offering this Spring with the goal of together raising to boost our expanding work in home missions.

This is your chance to invest in future OPC congregations and support current church plants.

Christ Church Downingtown (formerly Downingtown OPC) is a new church plant in Chester County (45 minutes west of Center City Philadelphia) which is currently in its first year of financial support under organizing pastor Greg O'Brien.  After a couple local families noted the lack of a good Reformed and Presbyterian church in Downingtown, presbytery Regional Home Missionary Dave Holmlund began a Bible study in January of 2017, and, by the end of April, it changed to a Sunday morning worship service in a local community center.  Downingtown/Exton and the wider area of Chester County continue to experience rapid population growth with lots of cultural diversity and spiritual needs. 

Since October of 2018 Pastor O'Brien's leadership of the congregation has helped to develop the congregation and open doors for local outreach.  Pray that God's hand would continue to prosper this work through the growth of God's people and effective witness in the area under the oversight of the session at Emmanuel OPC in Wilmington, DE.
