Tabernacle United Church is home for me. I've been a member now for a few years. Since day 1 I was…read morewelcomed and embraced by the congregation and its pastor. This church is most certainly progressive in its theology and world viewpoint. Attending marches, accompanying undocumented folks through immigration proceedings, letter writing and visiting folks in prison are all part of the spiritual practices of this congregation that does its best every day to follow Jesus. The music is uplifting and soul-filling with a mix of traditional hymns, spirituals and modern praise and worship. If you're looking for a place to worship God and be welcomed for who you are, give Tab a try.

A relationship with God is deeply personal and has nothing to do with how 'cool' a church is…read moredecorated... (how EVER to people tolerate going to 'church' in third world countries! UGH!) ...or how AMAZING a singer is (Dove Award singers only please!!!)... if you're not there for the RIGHT reasons and allow your spirit to be fed with SOMETHING from visiting with other believers...then you're there to judge and people bash. It's not about the bricks and mortar. It's not even about the PEOPLE! It's the walk and relationship. That simple. And. Anyone or any negative review of a CHURCH with anything less than "they assaulted me" or "the pastor punched me in the face" is kindaaa a little missing the point that that PERSONAL pursuit of worshiping God is...personal. If it's not for you, and you're looking for something different....then you gently acknowledge that you need something different the next week. Geesh. And Christians are supposed to be the judgemental ones.

This is a very welcoming church - of everyone! It is a very diverse congregation. The love shared…read moreamong the congregation is genuine and you can feel it! There are two services on Sunday, one at 9:00 A.M. And one at 11:00 A.M. The earlier service is more informal and the latter is more formal with choir and pipe organ. There is Sunday School every Sunday at the 11 o'clock, a young adult group, and a variety of ministries. The Shared Blessing Luncheon on Fridays at noon welcomes church members, homeless and everyone in the community to sit and share a meal.

I have been going to this church my entire life, so my review might be a tad biased. …read more Overall, this is a great church to be in, if you don't mind the huge size. (over 4,000 members) The Pastor is genuinely concerned with the spiritual growth of his members. There are too many ministries to name but the Youth ministry, Women's Ministry, College & Career Ministries are a few. Also, there is a Cell Group ministry. This is basically small group Bible studies during the week; this is in place to make sure that no one gets lost in the large crowd. Definitely a great place to go if you are concerned about your spiritual development and want to hear teaching from the Bible.

I have only been going to Metro since I've moved to Philly July 2023 and in short, it is truly a…read moreone of a kind, Gospel-centered church and community that has helped me re-discover the Gospel and taught me how to live a Christ-like, Gospel-centered life through its sermons and classes and teachings. I can also confidently say I have Gospel-centered friendships through Metro and it feels like family because everyone is so hospitable and warm. If you are looking for a church in Philly, highly recommend checking out Metro!!

Update: It has now been 6+ years since I first came to Metro Church. So grateful. This is a place…read morewhere I've discovered & re-discovered the gospel over and over again and deepened relationships in this community through the "mundane" and hard, but needed conversations that make up "doing life together". I love this church, and I hope to be here for as long as God wills. I, along with most people that come through Metro's doors, echo the same sentiment: "I wish I'd come here sooner!" So if you're reading this, we can't wait to meet you! Come join us as we journey alongside each other in faith & love, advancing God's mission throughout our city! (PS. If you're a college student, come through!! Crosswalk Fellowship (our college ministry) is warm & welcoming. Come and find a "home away from home"!

First, I have to say I'm surprised no one has called out this great church and community partner…read more I'm not Episcopalian, but if I were, I would totally be a member of this congregation. Why? 1. They are the hosts of the Ardmore Food Pantry, which helps each week over 70 families make ends meet. 2. They host free community potluck dinners simply to promote a sense of community. 3. They turned part of their lawn into a garden that grows fresh food that goes to pantry guests. 4. They have a beautiful hall and kitchen that they rent out at a shamefully affordable price. The only catches here are that you clean up after and empty your trash and that they only permit serving beer and wine along with non-alcoholic drinks. Fine by me. I have been a part of many community events here and to a person they are kind, responsive and clear. They're good people who truly work to serve the entire community.

Okay Yelpers....this is where I worship God…read more I have been attending this church since 1989. This church is a family unit that emulates Jesus Christ. I am impartial to this body of believers in that I am one of them. They are loving and caring and just like people of the world and subject to being wrong and human. If you are ever looking for the truth in the world like my wife and I were forever ago and start looking for churches....keep this one in mind. We must have visited 10-15 area churches before settling on this one due to the people being the most authentic we had found. Hope to see you there!
