Founders and Faith Banquet

This year—2026—not only celebrates the 250th anniversary of the birth of our country, but it also marks an incredible milestone for the Presbyterian faith, the Great Awakening, and the beloved community in which we live, as it commemorates the 300th anniversary of the founding of the Neshaminy-Warwick Presbyterian Church by Rev. William Tennent, Sr.

To honor both the Church and its founder, the William Tennent House Association is privileged to invite you (as well as your family and friends) to a special, once-in-a-lifetime banquet.

Join us and our very special guest speaker Dr. Timothy Tennent, a direct descendent of William Tennent, for his presentation "A Small Seed Leading to a Great Harvest," where he will tell the story of William Tennent and how his vision for theological education has changed the world. Dinner & Beverages will be served, friends will be made, and the discussions will be pertinent and lively!

Cost to attend is $50 per person. Please reserve your seats by MAY 15TH.
