Moves:

Eighth and Spring Garden Streets:

During the ministry of Rev. Alphonso A Willits the property on Crown Street and the burial ground on Race Street were sold. For a time the congregation worshiped in Washington Hall at the corner of Eighth and Spring Garden Streets. The new church edifice on the corner of Seventh and Spring Garden Streets was dedicated to the glory of God on April 29, 1855.

Fifteenth and Dauphin:

In time, members belied it necessary to move to a neighborhood where they might minister larger numbers. Lots were purchased at Fifteenth and Dauphin Streets as the first step toward relocation. By 1894 the first unit, a chapel, had been built on the new site and evening services were conducted there. By 1948 the membership had dropped to 76. The congregation sold its building to another congregation and conducted its last worship service in the church on June 6, 1948.

Stenton Ave and Dorset Street:

Services were held in the Odd Fellows Orphan Home, Ogontz and Chelten Avenues, for a time after the sale of the church at Fifteenth and Dauphin. Lots were purchased in Mount Airy when a large part of the surrounding area was still undeveloped. The building was erected and dedicated November 14, 1948. The congregation, which had made considerable progress in numerical strength during its first four years at Stenton Avenue, soon was in difficulty. A census taken in 1956 revealed the area to now be eighty-nine percent Jewish. The congregation sold the building and gave up possession of it in the fall. The last worship service at the Stenton Avenue church was Sunday, July 28, 1957.

Willow Grove:

The site chosen for the new church was in Upper Dublin Township at the corner of North Hills Avenue and Woodland Road. It was a promising location in a growing area near Roslyn and Willow Grove. Consisting of more than two acres and a house, the property was purchased in June 1957. The first worship service in the new location was held on September 22, in the house on the corner of Bernard Avenue and Woodland Road, which became the parsonage. Twenty-five adults were present that Sunday. Ground was broken for the new church October 1, 1957.
