Description of Organization
Who we are: At the Presbyterian Church of Kennett Square (PCKS) we desire for everyone in the community to “taste and see that the Lord is good!” (Psalm 34:8). We believe that God has called the people of PCKS, rooted in his love, to build His church, serve society, and steward creation with a focus in the Kennett Square community.
PCKS is a community of believers located in downtown Kennett Square, Pennsylvania, a diverse and thriving community located forty-five minutes outside of Philadelphia. Our most recent pastor, of fourteen years, left on good terms and was led by the Lord to take a call to lead a pastor residency program. Since April of 2023 we have been led through the EPC’s transitional church process by an EPC transitional pastor.
