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.

Welcome to Overbrook Presbyterian Church.

We are a vibrant, growing congregation of about 400 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.
