The stories of Christ Church's past were, in their day, the edge of the future - an edge that this vibrant urban community of faith remains on today.  Whether you're someone inspired by tradition and transcendent worship, a seeker with edgy questions and a desire for creative worship, a family whose children or teens have a range of needs, a couple returning to Philadelphia to embrace urban life, or someone wanting to reach out to the urgent needs of a city - enter here to learn about the spiritual community where we believe that "Whoever you are, and wherever you find yourself on the journey of faith, you are welcome here, as you are. . . ."
