Camp Hill UMC

What Camp Hill UMC does

Camp Hill United Methodist Church (CHUM) is a religious nonprofit congregation operating in Camp Hill, Pennsylvania, as a local church within The United Methodist Church (Susquehanna Conference). The church serves a multi-generational congregation through two weekly Sunday worship services — traditional Celebration Worship at 9:00 am and contemporary New Life Worship at 10:15 am — alongside age-segmented ministries spanning infants through seniors (Camp Hill Kids Infant-5th Grade, Students 6th-12th Grade, Adults 18+, Care & Support, Music). It also operates CHUM Preschool as a wholly-owned subsidiary focused on early childhood education and hosts Upward Sports youth athletics (Football/Cheer and Basketball) serving roughly 200 children and families.

The church's core technology is entirely third-party: the Church Center App (Planning Center) for member management, communications, prayer requests, volunteering, and giving; YouTube for livestream and sermon archive; Spotify for podcast distribution; Mailchimp for email newsletters; and Pushpay for online giving (plus text-to-give). It maintains international mission partnerships with Panguma United Methodist Church and Lower Bambara United Methodist Church in Sierra Leone (since 2009-2010, supporting 270 students) and with Give Ye Them to Eat (GYTTE) in Puebla, Mexico, where it hosts missionaries Miguel Mairena and Nan McCurdy.

Revenue is generated entirely through voluntary member contributions: tithes and offerings collected during worship or by mail, online giving via Church Center/Pushpay, text-to-give, appreciated-asset/legacy giving, and an annual "Overflow" pledge campaign inviting calendar-year recurring commitments. Distribution occurs through in-person worship, global livestream, podcast channels, and online giving platforms. Its most recent disclosed financial outcome was exceeding the Abundantly More Initiative pledge goal of $150,000 by more than $30,000. The organization is led by Lead Pastor Rev. Hannah Pratt Sledge and Pastor of Congregational Care Rev. Dr. Dennis Keller, supported by an approximately 15-16 person staff spanning pastoral, discipleship, music, and administrative/facilities functions.
