In West Philadelphia, a powerful story of faith, loss, and new beginnings is unfolding.
New River Presbyterian Church was born from the courageous decision of three Presbyterian African American congregations — First African, Calvin, and Good Shepherd — to come together and imagine a new kind of church. With the support of the Presbytery of Philadelphia and their pastor, Rev. Dr. Eustacia Moffett Marshall, they created a whole new way of being church.
In a time when many churches are closing their doors, this one is opening new ones — to affordable housing, healing, worship, and mission.
Watch the inspiring story of how legacy, trust, and bold faith created something new.
This isn’t just a story about a building.
It’s about what’s possible when churches ask the right questions and truly listen for God’s answers.
At the Presbyterian Foundation, we’re here to walk with you and your congregation as you make decisions about your church property. If you’d like to talk about your own church’s property decisions, contact your Ministry Relations Officer.
