Wayne Presbyterian Church

What Wayne Presbyterian Church does

Christ Church Ithan is an Episcopal parish church located at 536 Conestoga Road, Villanova, Pennsylvania, serving the Radnor Township community and surrounding areas. Founded in 1919 (consecrated on All Saint's Day, November 1, 1919) and designed by architect Theophilus Parsons Chandler, the church operates as an independent parish within the Episcopal Diocese of Pennsylvania, a constituent member of the global Anglican Communion. The church delivers weekly Sunday Holy Eucharist services at 9:15am featuring the Christ Church Ithan choir, supported by live online streaming and on-demand viewing for remote attendees. The property notably features English Gothic architecture with stained glass windows by Willet Stained Glass Studios of Philadelphia, depicting events in the life of Jesus and the story of St. Martin.

The church operates a community outreach initiative called Good Works in partnership with St. Martin's Episcopal Church, Radnor, which mobilizes volunteers to provide short-term practical assistance — including home cleanup, yard work, transportation to medical appointments, meal assistance, and emergency snow removal — to families in Radnor Township and surrounding areas. The Good Works initiative has demonstrated meaningful community impact, including pandemic-era support of Sewn for Good that produced over 8,000 face coverings with more than 5,000 donated to medical personnel (valued at over $50,000 in market equivalent).

The organization's business model is entirely donation-based: worship services are free to attend, and the church is funded through voluntary one-time donations, weekly offerings, and regular pledges from congregants. There is no proprietary technology platform, no mobile app, and no API; the church's digital footprint is limited to a Squarespace-hosted website (christchurchithan.org), live streaming of services, and an email newsletter. The organization is a private nonprofit religious entity with no venture capital, private equity, or public ownership structure — governance rests entirely within the hierarchical Episcopal Church structure.
