Christ Community Church of Philadelphia

I go to this Church every week and I love it, they have totally given me a true spiritual uplifting outlook on life!!! All this plus great music and you cant beat that.

CCCP is by far the best Christian Church I have ever attended. It’s a bold statement to make, but this Church really has transformed the way I think about my life, God, and my Christianity.
Their mission statement is to «Show the world what God looks like». The community is beautiful — a wonderful mix of college students from UPenn, Drexel, and Philadelphia/​NJ/​Delaware residents. Everyone is extremely welcoming, caring, and loving.
From the moment you walk into the doorways, expect to be greeted by a warm hug from someone who geniunely will take the time to get to know your name and remember you the next time you come. You will get a welcome packet and complimentary CD for your first time visit.
The music is wonderful — gospel and contemporary Christian music with the lyrics projected up above the choir in case you need them. The singers are very talented — Yvonne, Yvette, and E. Daniels hold it down as do the talented musicians who play their instruments.
Great ministries and outreach programs as well — take a look at their website for the full suite. I never really got a change to get more involved, but wish I could have!
Most importantly though, the pastors are open, honest, and practical. They preach the Word in a way that is easy to understand, easy to get a message and learn from it, and based on the bedrock of Jesus’s Word. Pastor Terry is so down to earth and approachable! We frequent the Bible a bit, so be sure to bring your own to take notes. I always leave with so much knowledge and advice on how to apply God’s Word in my day to day. Senior Pastor Terry and his wife, Pam are lovely — they will take the time to get to know you, meet and greet after Church, and stay in touch via email and phone after you’ve left.
I got hooked on this church when I attended UPenn undergrad and every time I make a trip back to Philly I make it a point to pop my head in and attend their service at 10AM on Sundays. I never leave disappointed.
This Church is full of so much love! You will leave happy that you went — God is truly working through Pastor Terry and all of the associate pastors here. Even after months of not going (I live in NYC), when I do go back everyone always remembers my name, greets me with so much love and affection, and always makes it a point to catch up.
As I’ve mentioned to my friends and the pastors there — I wish I could transplant this Church and move it to NYC! It has been hard to find anything comparable after feeling so at home and finding God at CCCP.
Would recommend this Church to anyone.
