In 1896, the Reverend Purdy B. Moyer first met with several Chalfont residents to discuss the creation of a new Methodist Episcopal Church. Formal organization of the church took place on January 30, 1897, with 26 charter members. A church building was purchased for $1,000 on North Main Street in Chalfont. It had been built in 1878 and was previously used by the New Mennonite church and a German Reformed Congregation.

 After 65 years, the growing Chalfont United Methodist Church needed to expand. The present church was built on 8 acres of land at the corner of Butler Avenue and Meadowbrook Lane. The new church was consecrated in the fall of 1962.

Eventually, our congregation realized that we needed more space. A new addition was built, adding a large Family Life Center, offices and two nurseries to the existing church facilities. In May of 1990, this new addition was consecrated to the glory of God.

       We trust God for the future because He carried us through yesterday. Join us in prayer    

       as we strive to bring people to Jesus and help them grow strong in their faith in the  

       growing Chalfont community.
