Hey there! Looking for a college church in the Philadelphia area?

At Story, we are committed to our mission of helping others find and follow Jesus. We believe that everyone has a story worth sharing, and that the story of Jesus is worth sharing to everyone. We have specifically structured our Sunday times so that we can invite friends to hear the gospel, train up, and serve God concretely in our city.

Training in God's Word

Our normal Sundays are a time for Christian students to get trained for ministry. We learn how to evangelize, study the Bible, and gain practical skills for serving others. Our aim is to equip normal students to confidently share the gospel of Jesus Christ in their dorms, classrooms, and everyday life.

We do this all together through encouraging one another, learning together, and sharing each other's burdens.

"And they devoted themselves to the apostles' teaching and the fellowship, to the breaking of bread and the prayers."
Acts 2:42 (ESV)

Share Sundays

The first Sunday of each month is a Share Sunday, where we share a simple message from the Bible that you can invite any friend to come hear. No prior knowledge needed!

Afterwards, we discuss the message, and enjoy lunch and sports together, because we believe in building relationships with our time together.

"Then he said to his disciples, 'The harvest is plentiful but the workers are few. Ask the Lord of the harvest, therefore, to send out workers into his harvest field.'"
Matthew 9:37-38 (ESV)

Serve Sundays

The Christian call to servanthood is to emulate Jesus, whose ministry was to serve the poor, sick, and needy. We strive to be followers of Jesus, and we create monthly opportunities for our members to serve the community. Most recently, we partner with two local rehabilitation centers and elderly homes.

"But not so with you. Rather, let the greatest among you become as the youngest, and the leader as one who serves. For who is the greater, one who reclines at table or one who serves? Is it not the one who reclines at table? But I am among you as the one who serves."
Luke 22:26-27 (ESV)

What are Grow Groups?

Living out God's Word is an essential part of every Christian's spiritual journey. Grow Groups are small discussion groups where we discuss the Sunday message, share how to apply it to our lives, and spur each other on to take steps throughout the week to grow in servanthood, prayer, and other Biblical themes.

"All Scripture is breathed out by God and profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, and for training in righteousness, that the man of God may be complete, equipped for every good work."
2 Timothy 3:16-17 (ESV)
