Adult Ministries use the “Small Group” model, in which all adults are invited to participate. Adult Small Groups pray together, study together, support one another, serve the community and have fun together. To learn more about any of these opportunities, please contact us at office@umcod.org or 610-444-2400.

There are three different kinds of Adult Small Groups: Fellowship Groups build friendship through sharing a meal, visiting museums or planning social gatherings; Bible Study Groups come together for the purpose of studying scripture and growing in faith; Ministry and Mission Groups focus on community service and outreach in a variety of ways.

We believe that the health and safety of your family are of primary importance. To that end, we conduct workshops on policies and guidelines that ensure the safety of our congregation with special emphasis on children, youth and the elderly. In addition, we organize workshops on topics related to emotional and physical well-being such as good nutrition, exercise, stress management, etc. which are open to the community.
