Description
Founded as Kensington Pentecostal Church in 1921, our faith community has served the neighborhood for more than 95 years. Since 1924, we've been a part of the Assemblies of God Fellowship but welcome believers from a variety of faith backgrounds to worship with us.
We are passionate about introducing people to Jesus and about loving our neighbors well. Beyond worshiping together, we meet the felt needs of our members and neighbors. We partner with Temple University School of Public Health and Webster Elementary School to address the health and education needs. We serve warm meals and provide access to food for families in need.
