Benjamin Franklin.  Pioneer Alice. William Penn.  Betsy Ross.  George Washington.  Absalom Jones.  William White.  Fanny Kemble.  They, and so many more, come to life in the living history of a truly American church.  See more than 300 years of vision, faith and courage at Christ Church in Philadelphia!

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. . . ."

An authentic American historic site - still doing today what it started doing 312 years ago.  Families and groups can visit the church and burial ground to gain a deeper understanding of our early history and the importance of religious freedom.  Tours given throughout the day.
