About Us

City of Refuge is a community of Christians who meet in House Churches located throughout Northeast Philadelphia and its suburbs.  We hold firmly to the Bible’s view of the church found within the book of Acts, focusing primarily on Acts 2:42-47.

“They devoted themselves to the apostles’ teaching and to the fellowship, to the breaking of bread and to prayer.  Everyone was filled with awe, and many wonders and miraculous signs were done by the apostles.  All the believers were together and had everything in common.  Selling their possessions and goods, they gave to anyone as he had need.  Every day they continued to meet together in the temple courts. They broke bread in their homes and ate together with glad and sincere hearts,  praising God and enjoying the favor of all the people. And the Lord added to their number daily those who were being saved.”  NIV
