In 2008 a group of Christ-followers got together in West Chester, longing for an expression of church that matched the reality of the culture. We didn't fit in at all-white churches or all-black churches. Our circle of friends, our workplaces, our schools, and our shopping malls include all colors of people.
Pathways was born out of this desire, to see a church that reflects the diversity that God created. We know that when we come together across old boundaries, something spiritual happens. We want to know each other and raise our children among this kind of spirituality.
We also desire to be a church that is active in the community, helping people with no strings attached. Jesus spent his time on this earth hanging out with and helping the marginalized, disenfranchised, and everyday people. We're going to follow his example and make a difference in West Chester.
Along the way, we have joined forces with a couple of nonprofit groups that specialize in helping new churches get started. Stadia: New Church Strategies and Kingdom Synergy Partners have been instrumental in helping us organize and getting us equipped to serve the community of West Chester.
We are a church that stands on these things:
- Racially Diverse Sunday worship environment
- Radical Service Initiatives in our community
- Ridiculously Dynamic Children’s Services
- Relational Life Groups
Join us and become a part of the exciting things happening at Pathways Christian Church!
