Our Story

Since 1929, the Rhawnhurst Presbyterian Church has been committed to following where God leads. We strive to know Jesus, and to be His people in Northeast Philadelphia, through our worship of Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior; our study of the Bible -- the ultimate source of truth and our guide to finding direction and meaning in life; our sharing faith and possessions with one another in the church and the community; and our caring for the physical, spiritual and emotional well-being of our neighbor. An intergenerational church, Rhawnhurst Presbyterian Church is a place where the whole family can grow closer to God and to one another. We value each person’s gifts and calling to service and ministry. We believe that Jesus Christ died for the sins of the world, rose from the dead after three days, and ascended into heaven. We believe that all who trust in Jesus as Savior are forgiven and receive the gift of new and eternal life. We believe that we have been called to tell this good news to our community and we seek to fulfill that mission. By God’s grace we are His people.
