About Us
Bryn Mawr Presbyterian Church is a large and growing congregation of the Presbyterian Church (U.S.A.) who gather from across the Philadelphia region. We are a community of seekers, disciples, doubters, and believers. Some of us are life-long Presbyterians, while some come from other churches or faith traditions, or no faith tradition at all. We are an Open and Affirming congregation, inviting all people to witness to the reconciling love of God in Jesus Christ.
Our campus is a place to gather, learn, serve, and grow as disciples.
We’re confident you’ll find a way to experience and share God’s love at BMPC. Come join us!
