Philadelphia, PA · 2021–2024
We saved you a seat.
Hope Philly was a church plant in Philadelphia — a community that gathered around Jesus, around the table, and around one another. We closed our doors in 2024, but what God did here endures.
Who We Were
“A small community of believers committed to making Jesus known in Philadelphia — through worship, friendship, and a seat at the table for everyone.”
Hope Philly was planted in 2021 by Pastor Joe, alongside Mike and Megan, with a handful of families who believed Philadelphia needed a church built on genuine community. We met in living rooms, coffee shops, and rented spaces — always making room for one more.

Thank You for Being Here
Hope Philly existed because people showed up — week after week, for each other, for the city, for Jesus. We are grateful for every moment, every meal, and every life changed. The story is not over. It is just continuing somewhere else.
