In the face of threatening Executive Orders, our work continues…
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:
Arch Street United Methodist Church is a community of faith-keeping and faith-seeking people who embrace diversity in our congregation and community, and affirm the dignity and worth of every person as created in the image of God. We celebrate and give thanks for all of the gifts of God among us.

In the early morning hours on Wednesday, March 13th, 2024, an electrical fire broke out at Arch Street UMC. We are so grateful that nobody was hurt and that the building did not sustain any structural damage. Still, there is a long road ahead for our recovery efforts. Please consider making a donation to assist us throughout this time of change and hardship.

A Philadelphia Landmark
Our Story
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.
Our Vision
Arch Street United Methodist Church will be a welcoming Christian community that inspires openness, understanding and reconciliation both within the congregation and in the community-at-large.
Our Mission
Arch Street United Methodist Church’s mission is to love God and neighbor by nurturing individuals on their spiritual journeys, encouraging creativity in faithful service, strengthening relationships, and promoting justice.
Our Partners
Arch Street works in cooperation with Partners for Sacred Places. See how we promote sustainability and cooperation within our community.
