In a short time my children ages 5-17 are more curious and eager to learn more about God. The reason my family continue to visit is due to the heart of the church members and their mission to reach the hurting people in the toughest areas of the city. When i think of Jesus and his disciples I see Victory Outreach as a ministry that follows that model. Key Word Outreach!

I was going through a lot that summer, and I remember sitting in the stunning sanctuary listening to Rev. Huffstetler preaching and feeling this absolute peace settle over me. Rev. Garner is incredible - his sermons are full of the Spirit, rich with biblical and historical knowledge, and never make you feel like you have to check your brain at the door to be a good Christian. The young adult group is vibrant and multi-faceted. We hold Bible studies, luncheons, and parties, and our friendship extends past the church doors. The LGBT group is almost entirely men, and mostly 40+, but as a 20-something lesbian I can say that they are perfectly friendly and welcome to new members. We need a nudge in a missional direction as a group, but for friends you couldn't ask for more. Many of the members are heavily involved in community-based missions which make this church ideal for a person who wants to volunteer their time through faith-based endeavors. We help with Wintershelter (warm beds for the homeless), Manna (actually started here at First), The Other Carpenter (helping fix homes in low-income areas), and an annual mission trip to New Orleans every year after Katrina - as well as almost anything you can imagine. The music is beautiful, the sanctuary is gorgeous, the people are incredible, the mission is solid, the sermons are empowering, the social life is vibrant -- there is nothing I do not love about First Presbyterian Church. Please join us! You won't regret it.

This is such a fun and welcoming church. The Epic church has multiple locations all over…read morePhiladelphia but this location meets in the Suzanne Roberts Theatre. Each church leads their own worship in the beginning but then the same message is live-streamed from the central location to all the other ones. Kind of a different experience if you're used to the traditional preacher at the pulpit kind. Make sure you come early and grab yourself a compliment cup or coffee or tea. If it's your first time you should stay afterwards for 5 min (it really is only five minutes) to talk to a representative and learn about all that the church does and how you can get involved. Bonus: you get a cute lil goodie bag with church swag. They have child care available during all services to let you focus and take notes. Great church to check out and has great opportunities to serve others.

I've been going to Epic for almost a year now and I can honestly say that I've met so many genuine,…read morewelcoming people here. Most of my close friends I first met by going to Epic and getting plugged into a Life Group (small group that meets during the week). I had just moved to Philadelphia when I started attending and didn't know many people and Epic was the first place I felt truly welcomed and comfortable. The messages on Sunday morning are practical and engaging. There's always something I can take away and apply to life and my routine during the week. The music is current and upbeat and is one of my favorite parts of going on Sunday. There are two services Sunday morning: 10:00 am and 11:30 am. When you walk in the lobby, there is free coffee, tea, hot chocolate and water. There are usually people in the lobby mingling with friends or getting connected with someone if it's their first time. The dress code is very casual and it doesn't matter how you show up. There are environments for kids (babies through 5th grade) during both services. During the 11:30 service middle school and high school students (6-12 grade) get together to learn and grow together in a fun way. Epic has four locations in total, so if Center City is not the most convenient for you, you can also check them out in Fairmount, Roxborough, and Parkside.
