*By Appointment Only Monday through Saturday*
No matter your story, we welcome you to join us as we all try to be a little bit better, a little bit kinder, a little more helpful—because that’s what Jesus taught. We are a diverse community of followers of Jesus Christ and welcome all to worship here. We fellowship together as well as offer youth and children’s programs.
Jesus Christ can make you a better person. You can make us a better community. Come worship with us. Church services are held every Sunday. Visitors are always welcome.
I've been asked by several missionaries to attend their church. I always tell them that I will visit their church if they visit mine. They never take me up on my offer.

I've only been to another Mormon church, located in Broomall, so some judgements I make will be in comparison to that one. The church is rather small but it's conveniently located near the heart of Drexel/UPenn. The church has its own parking lot. Going down the road towards it, there is an opening to the left right before you see the church and at the end of the opening is a small garage for anyone to park in. These spaces may be taken up entirely during the church service, so I suggest getting there early. No worries, if you ask the local church goers about where to park, they'll be able to tell you spots a block or two away where you can park without fear of a ticket or towing. It's easy enough to spot these yourself if you circle the church enough like I did looking for a spot.
Like any Mormon church you go to, a good percentage of their population will be very friendly and open to conversation. For the young singles, after service will be an hour long mingling session with food and snacks. It's not for me but if you are a devout Mormon, it's a good place to make friends and expand your faith further. They host activities on weekday nights as well for extra socializing. Not for me, but nonetheless a good place.
