We Are Back!

Overbrook Presbyterian Church was damaged by fire on January 15, 2024. We are still restoring the sanctuary and many parts of the church, but we are back in the building for worship every Sunday at 10:30 AM. Worship takes place in our Fellowship Hall until the work in the Sanctuary is completed (expected to be done by Christmas 2026).

We are buoyed by the outpouring of support from the community and nearby faith communities. We appreciate your patience while we go through the process of remediating and rebuilding our beloved church building. Please refer to our Worship Services and Gatherings to the left and let us know if you have any questions.

Ways to Help

Many of the repairs and improvements needed in our building will not be covered by insurance, and your generosity is a blessing to our recovery. See the list to the right with all our donation information.
