POWER

Tackling some of the problems that affect the well-being of families beyond our congregation takes effective partnerships with other communities of faith. Arch Street United Methodist Church works with over 40 faith communities (churches, parishes, synagogues and mosques) as part of Philadelphians Organized to Witness Empower and Rebuild (POWER) Together, POWER works in three key areas:

  • Achieving living wages for working families
  • Developing full, fair funding for public schools
  • Immigration reform
