Phoebe Ministries’ The Faith in Action Team, which is comprised of board members, Executive and Leadership Team members, administrative, and front-line staff has been meeting at Cedar Crest College since 2012. 

The entire Conference Services staff are attentive and responsive to every need, act in a friendly but professional manner, and maintain excellent communication skills; the facilities are always clean and organized; and Food Services at Cedar Crest go above and beyond to make sure everyone attending is taken care of for dietary restrictions. The team always looks forward to seeing the menu for the day, hoping for the homemade chips.

Lehigh Valley Water Suppliers Inc. has hosted its annual watershed event at Cedar Crest College for over 20 years. Each year, hundreds of elementary-aged students are brought to campus for this interactive educational event. 

Cedar Crest College is an ideal setting for this hands-on educational experience—its accessible location and scenic grounds create a welcoming and inspiring environment for young learners. We are especially grateful for the continued support of the college’s staff and grounds team, whose collaboration and hospitality help make this event a success year after year. Their assistance with set-up and logistics ensures a smooth and enjoyable day for all involved.
