A long time tradition of the Forks is sponsoring a Seminary student for a pastoral calling. 

Our current student, Israel Sanchez, hails from Bolivia. 

Israel and his wife Victoria have had a long relationship with the Forks through our many mission trips to Bolivia.

 They both have moved into the Manor House, along with their two cats.

American Heritage Girls (AHG) was founded by a group of parents wanting a faith-based, scout-type character development program for their daughters in 1995. The AHG Program is dedicated to the mission of building women of integrity through service to God, family, community and country. AHG girls across the nation and the globe participate in badge programs, service projects, leadership opportunities, and outdoor experiences, all with an emphasis on Christian values and family involvement.

The Forks is a Partner Church with Good Works by participating in their Good Neighbor Program. The program is where churches partner with GW by providing regular volunteers and workday leaders to complete home repairs for a homeowner and see the process through from beginning to end. They care for their “adopted” families in other ways too, such as ongoing emotional support and prayer. When homeowners and volunteers come together regularly, often lasting relationships result—enriching the lives and faith of both. The Partner Church outreach embraces the true meaning of active, living faith and provides opportunities to extend God’s love in a variety of ways.

A group of Forks volunteers meet at an ‘adopted home’ on the 4th Saturday of each month.

The average day is 9:00am-3:00pm, but you can give whatever time you have available.

Won’t you prayerfully consider volunteering some Saturday?

No skills necessary. All tools provided. Lunch is provided also.

On March 2, 1987, 37 Christians gathered in a church basement in Coatesville, PA, to listen to Sandy Lewis and Linda Witmer share their vision for how churches could respond to women and children facing homelessness. The group listened as three women who were homeless shared their personal stories.  The group represented a cross-section of churches but was united by a deep sense of Christ’s call to compassion for families facing homelessness. As they explored ways churches could make a real and lasting difference, God’s Spirit prompted 10 women and men to step forward.

Today, 23 Bridge of Hope locations are active in 13 states across the country. After 30 years and national growth, Bridge of Hope’s mission distinctive remains the same: engaging Christian faith communities in ending and preventing family homelessness through neighboring relationships that demonstrate Christ’s love.

Chester County Connect Care is a Pregnancy Care Medical Center that exists to educate and empower individuals and their families to make life-affirming choices.

Often times a positive pregnancy test is not good news to a woman. 

Looking back on times of crisis we realize that we are not always able to think things through clearly. Instead, we often regret the important decisions we make in crisis mode. This is why it's always good to have someone who can come alongside you to help you consider all of your choices and see the big picture. Someone who can help you understand there is life beyond the crisis. 

Chester County Pro-Life Coalition publishes and distributes a pro-life newsletter along with other pro-life information and literature. They organize public witness events and provide support for “Youth for Life” and West Chester University “Students for Life”.

The central mission of OneRunTogether is to provide financial assistance to local cancer patients while they are undergoing treatment. We help them pay medical bills and living expenses. Some of the grants we’ve given paid for other things like childcare for the patient’s children during treatments, automobile repairs so the patient could get to treatments, and mortgage/rent bills.

Since August 26, 2011 we have given over 385 grants for more than $180,000.00. The generous support of the community is what helps us to help those who are in very dire and difficult circumstances.
