Welcome
Renewal Presbyterian Church

Welcome to Renewal Presbyterian Church! If you are new to Renewal, we would love to get to know you. Check out this page for some first steps you can take to getting plugged in. After service, please stop by the welcoming table or say hi to any of the pastors or volunteers!
Announcements
How to Engage with and Support Immigrants and Refugees Information Session:
Join the Micah 6:8 crew on Thursday, July 31 at 7:00PM at the West Philly building (4633 Cedar Ave) second floor to learn about how to engage with and support immigrants and refugees in such a time as this. We’ll be hearing from Pastor Aldo Siahaan, who ministers in South Philadelphia, and discussing ways God is calling us to love the sojourner in our midst. RSVPs are encouraged but not required.
Summer Connections:
Traditionally, summer is a time when Renewal slows down due to travel and vacations. To keep the community spirit alive during this time, we’re seeking volunteers to organize “summer connection” events that foster community and connection while our Community Groups are on pause. These events can be one-time gatherings or regular meetups—whatever works best for you as a volunteer! You don’t have to do it alone either—feel free to invite your Community Group to host one together! The events will run from June through the end of August.
Some event ideas might include: a picnic or sports day at FDR or Clark Park, a hike on the Wissahickon trail, a climbing day at Callowhill, a movie night at someone’s apartment, building rooftop, or house, a game night, a worship night, a bi-weekly book club, and more! The possibilities are endless. If you have an idea in mind, we’d love to hear it! Please fill out this form and let us know what type of event you would like to host.
If you are interested in checking out the different events, please stop by the welcoming table!
Renewal Volleyball:
Our volleyball group has been going strong and growing! We would love for this to be an outreach opportunity, especially as many non-Renewal attendees have been joining us.
Location: Crane Chinatown (1001 Vine St)
Dates/Times: Every Weekend, Saturday 3-5pm and Sunday 4:30-6:30pm
If you are interested, please fill out this form.
Serve With Us
Welcoming Team:
We are looking for more people to join our Welcoming Team! Our desire is to cultivate a warm and an inviting atmosphere, to make each person feel seen as they walk in through the doors. Please join us in sharing Christ’s love in this way and to welcome people into our church family. Please email us at renewalccwelcomingcommittee@gmail.com and/or reach out to David Lim, if you are interested or if you have any questions!
Missions Committee:
We are looking to recruit more members! If you have a heart for global missions and would like to be a part of supporting and encouraging the missionaries of Renewal, this could be a great fit for you! We are looking for people to join our support groups for our missionaries, to help plan for our annual Missions Conference in November, and to join us for our monthly Missionary Prayer Breakfast. Please fill out this form to let us know what aspects you would be interested to participate in.
Communications Team
Good communication is vital to the health of any church and we’d like to prioritize that more here. If you have a background or interest in marketing or communications, we would love to have you help us evaluate and develop our communication plan. If you’re interested, please email mimiko@renewalcc.org.
Worship Ministry
If you’re interested in serving on our worship ministry, including sound, please email worship@renewalchurch.org for more information or speak to us after service!
Multimedia
We are in need of volunteers for the multimedia team. If you’re interested, please email mimiko@renewalcc.org.
Bethesda Project:
Renewal has been partnering with Bethesda My Brothers House, a nonprofit organization that provides a Safe Haven, emergency shelter, housing, and support services to the homeless community. We are currently seeking volunteers to serve lunch and share a meal alongside the residents at My Brother’s House. This opportunity takes place monthly, typically on the last Saturday of each month, from 11:30 AM to 2:00 PM. If you have any questions, please reach out to Jun Shin (junyoung.shin1@gmail.com) or Sue Park (susannapark53@gmail.com). Sign up here!
DIACONATE CARE
If you have any felt needs (physical or spiritual), please contact the Renewal Diaconate (care@renewalchurch.org). One of our deacons or deaconesses will schedule a time to meet with you.
- We look to offer the compassion and love of Christ as we meet and pray with you.
- We will walk with you through a process that our Diaconate team has made to see how we can best help you.
- We serve alongside the community of members of Renewal and our leadership team of pastors, elders, and women’s council.
COFFEE HOUR
Everyone is invited to come to the Crane Center 1 hour early at 9:30am to enjoy a cup of fresh-brewed coffee, which will be made available outside the gym. Our hope is that this will provide a comfortable, inviting, and informal atmosphere for everyone to not only drink coffee but also interact with one another and form new friendships outside of the Community Group context. You are encouraged, but not required, to bring your own thermos to minimize the number of paper cups that need to be used.
