Schwenkfelders Then and Now
We’ve been doing this since 1734…and that’s just in America
Schwenkfelder churches are rich with Christian tradition and are located in Southeastern Pennsylvania.
Our denomination’s next event is the Spring General Conference meeting. It will be held at Olivet Schwenkfelder United Church of Christ on Sunday, May 17 at 3:00 pm.
Shortly thereafter, we will host our Salford Pilgrimage. It will be held at the Salford Meeting House on Sunday evening, June 7 from 6:00 pm.
More information can be found on our Salford Pilgrimage page.
Caspar Schwenckfeld’s Aim
My conclusive opinion, writing, motive,
and faith, in brief,
are directed to the end that we may become true Christians
and in the sight of God - just, upright, and blessed;
that we may learn to recognize correctly, God the Father
and Jesus Christ the Son (true God and man)
as our Lord in the Holy spirit,
the spirit of grace and the riches of God in our hearts.

A taste from our School of Christ on February 7, 2026
As a denomination we have a yearly Christian Education session on the first Saturday of February at the Schwenkfelder Library and Heritage Center.
Our topic this past School of Christ was on Schwenkfelders and Pietism.
After the session, two Schwenkfelder ministers spoke about it on this podcast.
