I was disappointed to see a negative post because VFB was not able/willing to provide Uber-like services to a Philadelphia Hospital for someone who never took the time to come to a service or reach out in any other way to get to know the mission, message or purpose of this local church which helps SO many non-members from its community. If you're looking for perfection or a solution to your problems, look to Christ first. If you're looking to serve and grow as a person, family, etc. visit VFB. It might be just where God wants YOU!

However, the kind and caring parishioners at St. Sophia welcomed me with open arms, have taught me so much, and made this parish my home. This community reflects a beautiful blend of Greek heritage and tradition with so many other backgrounds and experiences. Our clergy, chanters, and parish leaders have really made a visible effort to create a safe and loving place to worship, and we are really seeing an influx of new faces young and old joining those who started this community and have joined along the way. If you're thinking about learning more about Orthodoxy, I would recommend stopping in to St. Sophia and saying hi!

I have grown in my faith here and met some really wonderful people to do the faith journey with. Unique to this church is that they have a Prayer Room where you may go and receive prayer at the close of every Sunday service and their community groups all have a Kingdom Partner as a way to extend the hands and feet of Jesus into the community. As a creative person myself (and lover of the music and arts), I personally love that there are so many artists, musicians, songwriters, poets to connect with. But first and foremost, it's so rare to find a church that really puts Jesus first and cares about the community.

I will preface this review by saying I hope it doesn't sound too critical because it was overall a…read morepositive worship experience. We attended this church by an invitation of our family members who are regular attendees. Initial impression of atmosphere was pleasant enough, but I felt they were not particularly visitor-friendly since no one spoke to us (in their defense, we were sort of rushing to proceed to find our seats and sit down as the service was already in progress at 10:30 when we arrived). Since this church celebrates Eucharist weekly (well about that, there was no words of institution to speak of, so I felt they were just going through the motion), there were communion elements in plastic containers made available on a table at the entrance to the sanctuary for you to pick them up without any words of explanation--again I thought it was not too visitor-friendly. Good contemporary praise & worship music selections. Service is well-organized and gives an impression of well-polished/rehearsed appearance. Nothing sloppy about this worship service from the beginning to the end--excellent. A children's pastor got up and proceeded to speak quite at length on why only child dedication was permitted and not baptism. I felt very awkward and alienated since we come from a church tradition where children are baptized as infants as our two children are. I didn't understand why they had to go out of their way to alienate a group of believers when the Bible does not explicitly prohibit infant baptism and suggests such practice occurred when the entire household of faith was baptized in to the fellowship of believers. Anyway... I thought pastor's preaching was to the point, and he delivered a very good message on fasting (though I had a question about his illustration of personal experience he used to make the main point). At the conclusion of the service we helped to put away chairs as it was the last service (second) of the day and left. I'd say it was a better than average experience overall. I hope they will make more efforts to better welcome visitors...
