The Haddonfield United Methodist Church, since its inception in 1829, has grown from a gathering of a few in the Grove Schoolhouse to a congregation of over 2000 in our fifth and present home at 29 Warwick Road. Our members come from 57 towns in South Jersey. We have survived an earthquake and several fires, yet after each disaster we emerge stronger than before.
We are a "big church with a small church friendliness." We sponsor activities for all ages and have dozens of ways of serving from missions, ministries, choirs, small group study, and more.
Our new addition was completed in 2008 and has enabled us to expand our ministry with new classrooms for Christian education, a beautiful music suite and new reception and welcome center.
In 2009 we celebrated more than 180 years of Christian fellowship and worshipping God in the Methodist tradition established by John Wesley over 250 years ago.
Because we believe that “one size doesn’t fit all”, HUMC provides four Worship Services each weekend. 

• Saturday evening, in Brown Chapel at 5 PM, an informal service is offered with Holy Communion included each week. 
• 8:30 on Sunday Mornings the first service of the Lord’s Day is in Brown Chapel. A traditional Methodist service. 
• 9:30 AM is HUMC’s version of a Contemporary Service.  In the Main Sanctuary with an outstanding Praise Team leading a lively time of singing praise songs to our God and the pastors bringing biblical based sermons.
• The 11 AM Worship Service,  In the Main Sanctuary with Acolytes, Chancel Choir, traditional hymns, and biblically focused sermons.

Auxiliary Police

Mission
Haddonfield Auxiliary Police Officers are trained, non-paid volunteers, whose mission is to augment the Haddonfield Police Department. Their ranks include moms and dads, business owners and executives, and other Borough residents who are committed to making a safer community. In 2007 the Auxiliary Police were honored with the Alfred E. Driscoll Award for outstanding community service. Each year Auxiliary Officers provide almost 1,000 hours of volunteer service. They function as court bailiffs, and direct traffic at town events such as Fire Prevention Night and the Fall Festival. Members also provide crowd control at high school football and basketball games, numerous parades and 1st Night Celebration. Auxiliary Officers also carry out uniformed, foot and bicycle patrol in the business district during Candle Light Shopping; summer-time Friday night concerts; and furnish security for the summer Craft Fair. Auxiliary Officers are trained to respond to local emergencies, natural disasters and assist the Camden County Fire Police.

Meetings Open to the Public
Auxiliary members meet on the first Thursday of each month at 7:30PM in the Haddonfield Court Room. All Borough residents are invited to attend.

Training
Various training seminars are conducted by qualified members of the Haddonfield Police Department. Some officers take optional classes at the Camden County Police Academy. All officers are instructed in basic law enforcement protocol, radio communications, police vehicle operations, self defense, and baton and pepper spray tactics. Officers also remain current with their first-aid and CPR certifications.

Membership
Members are expected to provide eight combined hours of service/training per month. In order to become an Auxiliary Officer you must be 18 years of age, have graduated high-school, be physically able to perform the duties of an Auxiliary Police Officer, and pass a background check. The Chief of Police has final say in appointing Auxiliary Officers. If you are interested in becoming an Auxiliary Police Officer, talk to any of our members, visit us at one of our meetings, or contact Community Police Officer, Lt. Ted Stuessy at 856-429-4700 ext. 240.

VISIT GREENFIELD HALL

Greenfield Hall, 343 King's Highway East in Haddonfield, is a museum, the headquarters of the Historical Society of Haddonfield. The mansion is open for tours on Wednesday, Thursday and Friday afternoons from 1 to 4 and on the first Sunday of each month during the same hours. Tours for groups or individuals may also be scheduled by calling 856-429-7375.

Greenfield Hall was built in 1841 by John Gill IV on property which had been in his family since the early 1700's. The first John Gill had purchased the land from his cousin, Elizabeth Haddon Estaugh, founder of the town, and had erected a farmhouse to the rear of the present structure. John Gill II built another house to replace the farmhouse. This second house served as the Gill residence for the next hundred years until John Gill IV had it razed in order to build a new and grander mansion in anticipation of his second marriage to Elizabeth French of Moorestown, NJ.

Today Greenfield Hall is furnished much as it would have been when the Gills were in residence and contains collections of furniture, needlework, dolls, tool, costumes and early glass and pottery. Next door is the Samuel Mickle House, also known as the Hip Roof House, the oldest house still standing in town. It serves as the Society's research library, open to the public for research purposes. The library is open on Tuesday and Thursday mornings from 9:30 to 11:30 and on the first Sunday afternoon of each month from 1 to 3. Special appointments may also be made for the library by calling 856-429-7375.

Books and pamphlets have been produced by the Society throughout the years and its Bulletin, published for times a year, contains not only news of the organization bat also interesting accounts of past events and people who lived in the area. Exhibits, special events, celebrations and fundraising activities are held in the mansion during the year.

Both Greenfield Hall and the Samuel Mickle House are included in the New Jersey Register of Historic Places a well as in the National Register.
