Several people have recently asked us which neighborhoods we're investigating for our first church plant in Philadelphia. There are five on our short list that we're researching, exploring, and praying about. Here they are, in no particular order.
- University City
- Queen Village/South Philadelphia
- Fishtown
- Fairmount/Center City
- East Falls
It could be that God has a neighborhood in mind that isn't even on our radar yet, but these are the five that have caught our eye.
Narrowing it down is a tough process, because our dream is to plant many churches throughout Philadelphia. When I spend time in these neighborhoods, as well many others, my heart beats fast to see churches planted in all of them! But we've got to start somewhere.
Honestly, I feel like God will do something to direct us to a specific place. We're doing our part to investigate, research, and get to know people, but in the end we're waiting on God for direction. He has led us so directly to this point in the journey, I've got to believe that He'll take us to the right neighborhood.
