I joined the church shortly after moving to Philadelphia. Prior to coming to Trinity, I had taken a…read morelong break from the church and wasn't necessarily looking to get involved. A friend of mine invited me to a service and I agreed to attend. Everyone went out of their way to make sure I felt welcome and at home. The congregation is what won me over was and I have made strong friendships ever since. If you are looking for a place to worship, look no further than Trinity Church Oxford. This church has a deep history going back over 300 years. As a history buff, I cannot believe this gem is in my backyard! Come for the history, stay for the welcoming parishioners and yummy coffee hour! I also gave an extra star since this church is a short ride away from Center City on the Fox Chase Septa regional rail line

Am giving this a 4 star rating - for some reason the website isn't working. It's a fairly well…read morekept church established in 1698 - so it actually predates the United States of America. I took my Pomeranian there last Sunday for the annual animal blessing they do in honor of St. Francis of Assisi Day - this year it was on the actual feast day. Last year I took her to the 8AM service - this year we went to the 10AM service, which is somewhat longer since it features the (very good) choir and congregational singing. Please note this is not my regular place of worship. Last year we were the only ones there but the rector Father Robyn still accomodated us and blessed her along with the picture of my Chi mix (they bless pictures if the animal doesn't travel well. This year there were 3 other dogs there and the blessing was done in the graveyard. I found that the clergy & congregation were very welcoming. It's an easy location to get to: just 1 block from the bus stop for routes 24 & 18 and ample parking on Longshore Ave. I like the fact that they printed in their bulletin the texts of she Scriptural lessons read along with the Psalms read that day so you can follow along and refer to them in the future even if you don't have access to a Bible. Also that they pointed out which book is which in the pews (hymnal & Book of Common Prayer), where to find the restrooms and their policy on Communion. The building where they held the coffee social afterwards was named for a past rector who happened to be the brother of the only President hailing from PA (James Buchanan, also the only President to date who was a lifelong bachelor).

A very welcoming and open arms community which the world needs more of if you ask me. They have great programs such as housing the homeless during the winter months from 7pm-7am. They have another program they support for women in need of housing year round at another location. There was a meet and greet held here for the community with the main meal provided with guests bringing sides and desserts. They also have a potluck meal the second week of every month I want to say on Sunday but I could be wrong on the day of the week. The pastors here Donna and Charles are married to each other and you know what they say, a couple that prays together stays together! I am still somewhat fascinated by religion as I have been encountering an awful lot of fake and generally uncaring people in this world and I plan to come back for a service at some point. Keep on spreading the word Trinity Memorial Episcopal Church you are completing some great work and we appreciate you.

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.

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.
