Types of churches in Havertown

Family-Friendly Churches in Havertown

Many congregations in Havertown center their schedules around the Haverford School District, offering robust kids’ programs, VBS, and teen groups. Families from Chatham Park, Paddock Farms, and West Gate Hills appreciate stroller-friendly spaces and weeknight activities near the Skatium and Haverford Reserve.

Historic Liturgical Churches

Havertown’s older neighborhoods like Brookline and Llanerch include long-established congregations worshiping in stone sanctuaries with stained glass and pipe organs. These churches emphasize traditional liturgies, choral music, and seasonal observances, often within walking distance of Darby and Eagle roads.

Non-Denominational Churches in Havertown

Contemporary, band-led services and practical teaching are common among non-denominational congregations around the West Chester Pike and Eagle Road corridors. They tend to draw commuters and young adults from nearby colleges and the Main Line, with small groups meeting in homes from Oakmont to Manoa.

Service-Oriented Community Churches

Many Havertown congregations prioritize local outreach—food drives, clothing closets, recovery groups, and partnerships with Delco nonprofits. You’ll often find them organizing volunteers for Haverford Township Day, Darby Creek cleanups, or family support programs at the Haverford Area YMCA and township parks.

Sermon clips from Havertown churches

37s
“It's time to be ready because the kingdom is coming. Judgment is approaching. Don't delay. The time to respond is now. We don't respond with hypocrisy, with materialism, with worry, but we respond with repentance, and that brings us to a place of readiness. If Jesus the master returned today, would he find us watchful? Would he find us faithful? Would he find us repenting? Those who know the master is coming, they live differently now.”
68s
“Jesus was and is the perfect example of a human life fully surrendered to the spirit. Conceived by the spirit, empowered by the spirit, led by the spirit, endured death by the strength of the spirit, and raised to life again by the Holy Spirit. Everything Jesus did flowed from the perfect his perfect dependence on the father through the spirit. And now that same spirit that same spirit that Jesus fully depended on fully depended on through life into death and into his resurrection can live in you, can help you every day with every little minute task and challenge that you have.”
32s
“We need to remember that we are in trouble if all we think security is is having a big four zero one k, having a big house, big barns. Think for a moment. What kind of barns are you building at the expense of generosity or at the expense of a relationship with the Lord? Jesus is warning those who store up treasure for themselves but are not rich toward God and generous towards others.”
32s
“would our lives change if we got a phone call from God saying, hey. I'm gonna be sending Jesus later this week. How might that change how we live now? And that's the way we're told to to think about Jesus coming. To to not just be ready, but to seek to be faithful as we watch for his return. The faithful servant isn't just simply awake. He's busy doing the work the master has for him.”
28s
“What kind of master is this that we serve? What kind of master do we have? And we know that the master of the scriptures, Jesus, the Christ, he is not a tyrant, but he is a beloved master. He is one whose burden is light, whose yoke is easy. We come to a man who has given us everything. Everything we need and even many of the desires of our hearts.”
52s
“So when he knocks, answer the door. When he nudges, respond. When he convicts in that gentle whisper, listen. Because the spirit of God is here today to help each and every one of us. You want to look more like God? You want to be closer to God today? Let the Spirit be the breath in your lungs, the wisdom in your head, the compassion in your heart, and the strength and courage to be sanctified by the father. Lord, give us more of your spirit today.”
47s
“When Jesus died, the last breath that he exhaled was ruach, pneuma. It was the spirit, and the power of the animated principle of life tore out of Jesus, and the force shook all of creation, and it ripped the temple curtain in two, saying, you no longer need to enter a temple to experience the presence of God. The spirit that raised Jesus from the dead, the spirit that ripped the temple curtain in two, now lives in you. You are now the temple.”
45s
“We walk around trying to make sense of life. Why do I still feel empty? Why doesn't success satisfy? Why do I know what's right but still not do it? Why does something feel like it's missing? Because we need the Holy Spirit to awaken us. The spirit doesn't just help us. The spirit doesn't just give us life. The spirit gives us new life. The spirit resurrects. And this is the most important way that the spirit enhances our life.”
7s
“"But Jairus is described to us as a very important person. He's the ruler of the synagogue."”
46s
“"But Jesus, on hearing this, answered him, do not fear, only believe, and she will be well. The first thing we have to believe about Jesus is that he enters into our trouble. I love the but there right after he says, do not trouble the teacher. It's like, this is a bother to Jesus. Don't bother Jesus anymore with your troubles. It's too late for Jesus to help you. And then Jesus intercepts and says, hey, this is no trouble at all. I've come to enter into your suffering and into your trouble and to meet you at the very point of pain. Now we're introduced to Jairus a little bit earlier in the text, verses 40 to 42, and then we're suspended while we watch the secondary miracle."”
