Liberti River Wards seeks to live, speak, and serve as the very presence of Christ in the River Wards of Philadelphia.
Who We Are
We are a local church serving Philadelphia’s “River Wards,” the neighborhoods north of Center City along the Delaware River — Kensington, Fishtown, Northern Liberties, Port Richmond, and Olde Richmond. We are part of the Liberti Communion of churches and a member church in the Presbyterian Church in America (PCA).
We believe that Jesus Christ lived the life we should have lived and died the death we deserved to die. His resurrection from the dead is the central fact of both human history and personal meaning in life.

Home Meetings
Home meetings are gatherings of 8–12 people meeting in individual homes throughout the River Wards during the week. In home meetings, a primary Christian community is developed and fostered.
