Reformed, expository, gospel-centered churches — because Philadelphia needs the Word of God.
Philadelphia has a large and historically significant Muslim population, including one of the oldest and largest African-American Muslim communities in the country — deeply influenced by the Nation of Islam and later traditional Sunni Islam. Arab, Pakistani, and West African Muslim communities have also grown significantly in Philadelphia and its suburbs.
Philadelphia is also the 'City of Brotherly Love' — and the gospel of Jesus Christ is the deepest expression of that love. Bible-preaching churches in Philadelphia have a profound calling to reach both the African-American Muslim community and the broader immigrant Muslim population with the truth that Jesus — not the Nation of Islam, not any ideology — is the way to God.

Philadelphia's African-American Muslim community, shaped by the Nation of Islam's legacy, needs the true gospel of Jesus Christ — not a White man's religion, but the gospel of the King of Kings who reigns over every tribe, tongue, and nation. Christ died for Black and White, Arab and African, Jew and Gentile alike. Philadelphia's churches must proclaim this with boldness and love.
"For I am not ashamed of the gospel, for it is the power of God for salvation to everyone who believes, to the Jew first and also to the Greek." — Romans 1:16
