How can a church engage the intergenerational landscape of their changing neighborhood? This is a common question asked by congregations throughout our Presbytery and around the country. For the faithful of Old Pine Presbyterian Church in Old City, the answers are not as complicated and glitzy as what many might imagine. A congregation that recently celebrated its 250th anniversary, maintains a cemetery with 285 Revolutionary War soldiers buried on its grounds, and shares property with the Presbyterian Historical Society, this historical faith community has also embraced a steady influx of young families and individuals and doubled membership in the last seven years.
Guests on this episode are the Rev. Jason Ferris and Rev. Rebecca Blake, pastors at Old Pine. Read the story here: https://presbyphl.org/authentic-and-intergenerational-community-at-old-pine-presbyterian-church-by-rev-greg-klimovitz/
