Salford Mennonite Church

What Salford Mennonite Church does

Salford Mennonite Church is a nonprofit Anabaptist congregation established in 1717 by Swiss-German immigrants, currently operating from its meetinghouse at 480 Groffs Mill Rd, Harleysville, Pennsylvania. It conducts Sunday worship services both in-person and via YouTube livestream, and runs a comprehensive portfolio of programs including children's Sunday School (using the Shine curriculum), Junior and Senior Youth Groups, Peace Camp (a free week-long summer program for K-5th graders), Faith Formation Nights, an Accessibility Ministry recognized by the Anabaptist Disabilities Network, and a joint Salford-Advent Lutheran Church Garden that produced 14,493 lbs of produce in 2024. The church is governed by a board and led by a small paid staff of five, including a Lead Pastor and two Associate Pastors. Its revenue model is built entirely on voluntary contributions from congregants and community donors, accepted through in-service giving, recurring ACH via Univest, the Give+ mobile app, and Vanco's online donation platform. Salford is a member of Mosaic Mennonite Conference, Mennonite Church USA, and Mennonite World Conference, and engages in community outreach through partnerships with local nonprofits (Keystone Opportunity Center, Manna on Main Street, Access Services) and international support for a church planter in Mexico and a special-needs school in Ukraine. The church adopted a comprehensive 2023 Welcome Statement affirming full inclusion regardless of identity, and operates discernment processes (Path Forward, Curiosity Project) to guide programmatic and theological direction.
