In the beginning of the 20th century, when the Borough of Folcroft was still very much a farming community, a group of residents gathered to establish a local church. After much prayer and discussion they settled on the current name of the church mostly because it spoke of the intent to unify people in the community under the common purpose of worshiping God through a relationship with His Son, Jesus. In 1926 the Folcroft Union Church was officially incorporated.

Throughout the years the physical property has undergone many changes including additions to the main footprint, creation of a large Family Room and parking lot. In the 1970s we were able to purchase the former firehouse next door and have been using that building for a variety of meetings, a local polling place and the chance to host sister churches who needed a physical building.

While history has provided a picture of the many changes, what has not changed is the original purpose of this incorporated church, and that is to worship and honor Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior and share that relationship with others.
