INFORMATION

Thank You for Celebrating 100 Years with Us!


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.


Thank you for celebrating this historic moment with us.
Here’s to the next chapter of ministry and impact!


❤️ To God be the Glory
