...Jesus is the "River of Life"

Welcome to River of Life Philadelphia!           

River of Life Philadelphia (River of Life Church) is a mission church in the heart of northeast Philadelphia.  Our mission is to declare and demonstrate  the good news of the Kingdom of God to the poor, the oppressed and the addicted in the Kensington neighborhood of Philadelphia, PA.  Only the love and the power of God will break the strongholds in our cities...

Kensington Ave and the "El"

The "home" of Rocky Balboa in northeast Philadelphia (Kensington) is a neighborhood
 of castaways, single mothers trying to make ends meet, neglected children, young men
 and women with no hope and the addicted.  It is also a place where the Holy Spirit is increasingly demonstrating His love and power among the forgotten and the powerless.

"Prayer in the Park"

Our 2nd floor sanctuary

The church is part hospital, part recovery house, part revival center and 100% family.  Showing the love of God to to the neighborhood is often the first step in attracting families to the gospel and the local church.  

Ministry location at 'F" and E. Cornwall Streets
