A Brief History of Our Church

Hope United Methodist Church is the result of the merger of several earlier churches. Its origins go back to 1790 with the founding of Ebenezer Methodist Church in Philadelphia.
In 1942, Ebenezer merged with the Bethesda Church which had been founded in 1831. The new combined church was located in what is now Havertown, at the corner of Eagle and Steel Roads.
In June of 2004 Trinity United Methodist Church, also located in Havertown, merged with Ebenezer. The name Hope United Methodist Chuch was chosen for this new combined church.
