Newtown Square Presbyterian Church is GROWING! by Christina Manning Photos courtesy of Newtown Square Presbyterian Church

On Sunday, September 13th, you could feel the enthusiasm at Newtown Square Presbyterian Church! The parking lot was full of congregation members wearing masks and maintaining social distancing protocols, there to witness a groundbreaking ceremony for the church’s new addition that’s being built by Horst Construction. Plans for this expansion project began over five years ago, led by the Reverend Dr. Jeanne Thomas, the church’s “Growing Our Future” committee and the Capital Campaign Team. During the ceremony, Pastor Jeanne prayed: “As we break ground today, we take the first step in the construction of a new space for worship, study, and fellowship.”

The artist rendering of the new addition

As members of all ages came together, several church leaders expressed their excitement on this momentous occasion. James Kucera, co-chair of the project, said, “We are passionate about the vision God has laid out for us. Our church will be relevant for decades to come.” Lynne Corle added, “Our young families will have opportunities to become an even more vibrant community of faith.” And Ginny Berman summarized the strong feelings of God’s faithfulness even in the midst of COVID-19: “This is a time when we need our faith and want to expand our ministries to our entire community.” This space will welcome and accommodate NSPC’s growing membership, and ensure they can provide safe access for all ages. The addition’s exterior is expected to be completed in December, and the interior in February.
