| Chester Heights Campmeeting Association (CHCMA) is a non-profit, parachurch, interdenominational, religious organization dedicated to the evangelical ministry of proclaiming Christianity to the world. At one time, the property consisted of over 100 acres, but at present consists of 31 acres, which some have called the "best kept secret in Delaware County." One hundred and fifty year old trees, hiking trails, children's playground, several Victorian public buildings, such as an original gazebo that seats 150 people, a chapel now converted to kitchen/dining hall, a dormitory that sleeps 60 people, and a central place of worship called the tabernacle. There are about sixty Victorian summer cottages, some of which are lovingly and beautifully restored, some of which need "refreshing" and some of which need to be rebuilt or razed. The organizational management, property maintenance, and ministry functions all rest upon the membership of the Association. | |
| All CHCMA expenses, including property maintenance, administrative, program, and taxes are financed through assessments on leases for cottages, which accounts for about 50% of total expenses. The balance is obtained through fund raising events, donations, offerings, bequests, and special programs. At present, there are no outside organizations providing financial support. | |
| Chester Heights Campmeeting Association is a non-profit (501(c)(3)) organization incorporated in the state of Pennsylvania.
