Fellowship and welcoming hearts, a plethora of Bible study groups and gatherings, outreach programs, free childcare and children's Sunday school, free flowing coffee and tea, music and songs, good will and plenty of encouragement are just a few of the benefits. Life giving messages to those of us who seek the Truth, the Hope, and the Light.

I love this church. I found it on mlp.org, an LGBT-friendly Presbyterian organization, when I had…read morefirst moved to the city in summer 2010. 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.

Why does the church make it harder for people to go when they should count their blessings that people would even still attend after all the disgrace the past leaders have brought to her!

I was baptized in St. Joan of Arc in 1949. This is the church where I received my First Holy…read moreCommunion and Confirmation. My parents were married here. This church is a hallowed place. The architecture was taken from a St. Joan of Arc Church in France. Catholics need a place to pray that is close to where they live. But to have the chance to pray and attend mass in a place like St. Joan of Arc can be so inspiring. Inspire. From "the spirit" of God.

This church has a pastor on it that probably shouldn't be a pastor. They have multiple pastors…read more This one doesn't seem to operate in the fruit of the Spirit demonstrated terrible interpersonal skills. He also seemed to be manipulative and ignored what I said. So he didn't listen to me and didn't make me feel good about having that talk with him. This church could also use more of a biblical foundation on things. For those looking for a solid church, this doesn't look like it.

But the moment I stepped through the doors of City Life Church, I was welcomed with warmth and kindness. I've been attending for two years now, and every visit continues to feel like coming home. It's a great place where I've met so many people and developed true friendships. It's a place where I feel seen, valued, and truly connected. I'm so grateful to be a part of it!

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.

Stone and wood, kinda cold if you know what I mean, but the stained glass is amazing and beautiful. Has the main chapel above, with the daily mass chapel underneath. It has a low ceiling and is pretty amazing itself. Look back at the interior front as you enter. We attended for a few months in 2022. Padres and services were ok-to-good. Attendees across the Philadelphia spectrum, with several young families, students from Penn and only a few oldies. Low attendance. Never close to being even 1/4 full. We were there during a refurbishment fund drive and it was a little overwhelming a few weeks, way to much emphasis, again, if you know what I mean.

I also love their bake sales on Election Day as they Host a local polling place. I had an opportunity to meet with Pastor Tim recently. He's a genuine, approachable and kind man with a good sense of humor. The church itself is beautiful, like something from a painting, and it's well kept. I'm glad to be their neighbor.
