Room to grow, for the sake of others

For years, Philadelphia Bible Fellowship has gathered faithfully on Rising Sun Avenue. Now God is giving us room to grow.

Our renovated building will give our church family space to worship together, to disciple the next generation, and to open our doors wider to our Lawncrest neighbors. Every room is planned with one purpose in mind: making disciples who make disciples.
