CityReach Church 6814 Torresdale Avenue, Philadelphia, PA 19135

"Began attending this church for 6 months before committing I was adamant on making sure the teachings were biblical sound and I was not disappointed. After the 6th month I joined and began coming on Thursday as well and serving. My life has radically changed! I come from a very religious background so I can understand if this seems like a spectacle to some but when the worship team leads they give their absolute all into making sure everything is done in excellence and I’m not mad at it! Everyone is taught to serve in excellence so why wouldn’t the worship be done in the same manner?! I loved the dim lights and crisp sound it feels like it’s only me and God in the room. I recently transitioned to the Kensington Campus since it’s closer to me and it’s deff a different and more intimate setting. The Campus Pastors are on fire and are so knowledgeable! 10/10 highly recommend both campuses! Please remember you are there for God above it all regardless of whether you make connections or not, sure thats important but your MOST important connection is to God and his word! Seek him first and then all the extra things will be added."

"Been searching for a church since I’ve recently relocated to this area. Not my cup of tea, came across as a spectacle rather than a church service. Not that church has to be a solemn or lifeless event, but this church seemed rather artificial and worldly-focused."

"My personal experience at this church was very disheartening and ostracizing. When I first started coming and getting to know a few people, those few people all ended up having problems with me. I tried to reconcile things and they never really were. I still continued to come to the church and take the classes to join. Despite the mean looks and cattiness I experienced from some of the members in leadership, I had some other good experiences where I was touched by a sermon or alter call. Finally after finishing the 4 classes to become a member, I tried setting a meeting up with the pastor and his wife to discuss my experiences at the church thus far and my hesitations with joining. This was over a year ago. I was never able to get a meeting with them when that is something that every person is promised after completing the classes. I’ve even been back a few times since then and asked the pastors son if he could let them know I’m still trying to speak with them and still haven’t heard back. I’ve called multiple times and finally gave up. I was in there recently hoping things would be different now and yet I still feel the same ostracism. It’s a very clickish exclusive church. If you’re in the “in crowd” there, your experience will be completely different than mine. However if you like me aren’t, you may experience discrimination, exclusion, and being ignored and mistreated by not just members but the pastors and leaders of the church themselves."
