About Us

Our Purpose

The purpose of our ministries as a church is to Glorify God by discipling people to Know Jesus Christ, to Love Him and to Serve Him. Our doctrinal positions are based on our belief in the inspired, infallible, inerrant Word of God. Our "Confession of Faith" includes our belief in one true God existing as Father, Son and Holy Spirit, the deity of Jesus Christ and His virgin birth, the Holy Spirit as a person, the sin nature of man and his need for salvation, that man's salvation is found only in Christ, and that Christ will return according to the prophetic teachings of the Bible. The two ordinances that are observed at East Swamp Church are believer’s baptism and the Lord's Supper.

Our Mission Statement

East Swamp Church exists to glorify God: ~ by attracting and winning people from all generations to faith in Christ, ~ by discipling them to grow in their love for Christ, and ~ by equipping them in effective service for Christ.

Our Vision Statement

East Swamp Church must mature as a spiritual community of worshipping Christians who: ~ follow biblical convictions with Christ-like compassion, and ~ experience the transforming power of the indwelling Christ in their lives.

Community and Church

East Swamp Church is located just outside the Borough of Quakertown, Pennsylvania, in a community which has a population of approximately 30,000 (2000 census). It is a growing community located within an hour's drive of Philadelphia. The church was incorporated in 1892, although services were conducted at this site much earlier. The life of East Swamp Church today is defined more by its identity with Evangelicalism than by the historical connection to the Mennonite heritage. East Swamp functions as a local, self-governing fellowship.
