History of St. Thomas’ Church’ the 17th oldest continuously worshiping church in the country.
St Thomas church is a living representation of God’s faithfulness and the commitment of generations of Christians to collective worship in Whitemarsh.
In 1683, William Penn granted five thousand acres of land to Major Jasper Farmer. This area is roughly the boundaries of present-day Whitemarsh Township. Although Major Farmer was unable to settle in Pennsylvania, his son Edward did, and donated one acre of ground for a log church in 1698. The log church was deliberately burned in 1710 to be replaced by a small but sturdy stone church.
