Welcome to philadelphia church  

Our church is a place where all are invited in to discover who God is and the purpose He has for all of us in His story. We think church should be one of the most engaging and exciting places on the planet—a place where people of any and all backgrounds can experience a God who is real and relevant in their lives today. And that's exactly what we want to help you do! If you've been following God your entire life, you're welcome here. If you're new to faith, you're welcome here. If you're not really sure you believe in God at all, you're welcome here. No matter where you are on the road to faith, we want to walk alongside you. Our hope is that as you join us on the journey, you'll discover a God who is active, alive, and at work in your life.

LAtest Sermon

Pastor John Pickett


 "Living Water"


Jesus speaks to the Samaritan woman and reveals a deeper spiritual truth. He tells her that if she truly understood who He is and recognized Him as God’s gift, she would ask Him for “living water.”

This “living water” is not physical it represents:

  • Eternal life
  • Spiritual renewal
  • The Holy Spirit

A relationship with God that satisfies the soul.


Key takeaway:
Jesus is offering something far greater than temporary, physical needs—He offers lasting spiritual fulfillment. But receiving it requires recognizing Him and asking in faith.

What an incredible and historic day for Philadelphia Church as we celebrated our 100th Anniversary (1926–2026). Our hearts are full with gratitude for everyone who came out to worship, celebrate, and honor this milestone with us.


We were blessed to have past pastors, missionaries, city officials, police officers, longtime members, former members, and visitors from near and far join us for this special occasion. Your presence made the day even more meaningful as we reflected on God’s faithfulness through the generations.


A very special thank you to all of our volunteers who worked tirelessly behind the scenes to make this celebration possible. From planning and preparation to hospitality and service, your dedication and love for the church truly shined.

For 100 years, Philadelphia Church has been a place of faith, community, and mission, and we are excited for all that God has ahead.
