On January 25th, Arch Street UMC leadership issued a statement proclaiming, in the spirit of Luke 4:18-19, “No matter what comes our way, as a reconciling, justice-seeking, sanctuary congregation, our vow to the congregation and community continues to be this:

We celebrate and give thanks for all of the gifts of God among us.

Arch Street United Methodist Church is an historic, architectural treasure located in the Center Square neighborhood of the City of Philadelphia. We were established in 1862 – before Philadelphia’s City Hall (which is the largest municipal building in the United States) was even built.
We are literally located at the crossroads of the city and, as such, we have one of the most diverse congregations in Philadelphia. Look below to read a little more about our history including information about our free tours.
