“As the Father has sent me, so I send you.”  John 20:21b

As God the Father sent Jesus Christ, Christ has sent us and empowered us through the Holy Spirit, to be His ambassadors to the world to spread the gospel.  The Presbytery of Philadelphia is called to equip and assist its congregations to be instruments and living witnesses of the gospel in its various contexts.  It is a call to become ‘missional.’  The term missional refers to the calling of God’s church to be an instrument for God’s mission in the world.  In seeking to become missional, it calls for a radical redesign of the strategy, structure, and staff of the Presbytery to better serve its member congregations.

We are 134 congregations, 1 new Church Development, 4 Immigrant Fellowship groups, 1 Missional Faith Community and 4 Community Ministries with open doors located in the four counties of Southeast Pennsylvania. We are over 40,000 members with more than 375 minister members serving in a broad variety of ministries here in the metropolitan Philadelphia area and around the world.
