  • Pumpkin Patch - Every October

    During the entire month of October Mt. Sylvan becomes "The Pumpkin Church" (#pumpkinchurchdurham). We were given this name because of the South lawn of the Campus being littered with orange orbs of all sizes that are sold to local residents as a Northern Durham tradition that supports the Children and Youth Ministries of our church. For more information on volunteering in the patch or purchasing pumpkins contact Youth Coordinator, Libba McClusky at libba@mtsylvan.org
