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 which was also located in Havertown, merged with Ebenezer. The name Hope United Methodist Chuch was chosen for the new combined church.

WELCOME to PASTOR JAMES MCINTIRE

We welcome Pastor James McIntire as our new pastor and spiritual leader. The coming months will be exciting as we find a common bond and new working relationship which will forge Hope Church with the future.
Pastor Jim loves nature and the out-of-doors. He enjoys hiking, bike riding and camping, a tradition begun as a child at Camp Innabah and continued today with his family. He is dedicated to providing full inclusion of people with developmental disabilities and addressing the needs of their caregivers. He articulates against injustices of society and reaches out by providing counsel to churches and other non-profit organizations. In his spare time, he likes to read and write.
He has three children in the area. They love to travel as a family on vacation time, having visited New England, Virginia, Washington, DC and New York and spend a week each summer camping together at the New Jersey Shore. They also have participated in a number of mission trips, the most recent having been by Tim and Jim in New Orleans and Mississippi. Tim is 23 and is engaged to be married to Monica Ippilito next June. He is currently employed at Staples in Manoa Shopping Center. Lindsay is 20 and has 1 year left at the George Crothers Memorial School in Swarthmore. She loves to laugh, especially at slapstick humor. Lacey is 17 and will be a senior at Jenkintown High in September. She is an amazing social justice advocate and works to correct any wrong whenever she see it.
Although the children are involved in another Methodist Church we will look forward to having them at Hope anytime scheduling permits.
