We want to become deeper people, together. We expect this will happen, over time, not through some latest technique, but through well-worn Christian values and habits like hospitality, celebration, reflection, fasting, practicing silence, singing, ancient ways of praying and Bible reading, and communal meals.

One of the main ways God wants to get our attention (i.e. change our lives) is by healing us. In our relationships, broken patterns of thinking & living, self-loathing, pride – anything. Together, we seek the healing and freedom that God promises and that he alone can offer us.

We know that meaningful life isn’t lived on our own. Really knowing each other and really being known is a life-giving experience and goal that takes time. It takes being intentional. It’s throughout the week. It’s also the very kind of work that deepens and changes who we’re becoming.

From the time of Christ until now, Christians speak a simple message by their actions and words, by what they value and live for, by what they cry over. We speak and live out of what we know and what we’ve experienced. As a church family, we look forward to sharing with Philadelphia the story of what God has done, and is doing, amongst us.
