Eight years ago the Pastor reached out to me on Yelp to say they had a new location. So I went to…read morecheck it out as I was still church hopping and also, have you ever felt guilty for giving a church a 3 star review?! This new space at Philadelphia Film Center is actually pretty great. The lead Pastor continues to deliver relevant and biblically sound messages that are often wonderfully challenging (cry much?). And the worship team is filled with powerful voices. What's by far very interesting about this space of faith is the racial diversity. It is not mainly a sea of salt with a few sprinkles of black pepper, but a truly spicy rub mix, which you'd think would be more common in Philly-- but it's really not! And while the church definitely caters to the enthusiastic and passionate college students, there is an effort to create a supportive space for families. This is where I know there is room for growth-- if this is something you're really looking for, their South Jersey campus may scratch your itch. Pro Tips: 1. Free parking is offered at The Shops at Liberty Place-- a walkable distance which has allowed me to develop a very amicable relationship with the local Dunkin Donuts staff ; shoutout to their daughter who tirelessly works there as she studies at Temple. 2. If you're bringing your baby in your lap to the service bring some baby-sized earmuffs or check them into the nursery because many times it'll be like David (2 Samuel Chap 6) shouting praises for the first 20 minutes. And while your baby's cry may not be heard, it'll probably wreck your vibe. 3. If you tend to roll late wherever you go (raises hand guiltily) come to the first or third service where seats are more likely to be comfortably found. Come all ye faithful but especially all ye weary. You will be found.

I'm here in Philly for couple months and needed a contemporary church Sunday service. I was worried…read moreabout the parking situation because the location is in the heart of downtown Philly... the streets are busy, crowded, dense. Fortunately: Street parking is not impossible but also not free. The church gives out parking voucher at Liberty Parking Garage -- for free!

I purchased a holiday meal recently at the Mikveh Israel website and when I arrived for the meal but late for the services, BIll Vassel, the vp of the synagogue, accosted me at the door and repeatedly yelled "I AM NOT A RESTAURANT" and later threatened to "throw you the f-ck out" because I pointed him out. I later reported this to Eli Gabay, the president, and he threatened me in so many words if I reported it. The Rabbi and several of the congregants saw it and apologized to me for Vassel's behavior. They don't get that it is wrong to turn Jews away from a synagogue, including paying guests. If you pay for a meal there online but don't get there in time for the services, stay away or you could be accosted too.

MLUC is my 3rd Unitarian church, as we moved, and we have been members for 4 years. There are many people with many faiths and spiritualities, as well as agnostics. We discuss spiritual topics intentionally, but to me it a place of people who want to improve ourselves so we can improve the world. It is a congregational church, which means the members choose the Board and the Minister. The minister has a contract with the members through the Board of Trustees. I am on a couple committees. I am sure that we have not reached our potential as a congregation, but I think that most of the people I speak to, at coffee hour, at pot-lucks, hiking on Saturdays, and at our weekly, socially-distanced indoor services, are sincere in the desire to do more to fix the injustices of the world.

Caring staff who is open and knowledgeable about the neighborhood and what it means to be followers of Jesus, bold enough to ask and discuss the difficult questions in life.

Finally, a place where I can experience first-hand what it means to be part of what Dr. King described as "Beloved Community. " But there's more. I connected to this community primarily during COVID. Even their Bible and book studies during that time were times of stimulating discussion and heartfelt connection. People here are not afraid to be vulnerable and learn from one another. As a person who has worked in numerous churches and in multiple capacities, I am proud and honored to call SLATE my spiritual home.
