History

175 Years of Service to the North Philadelphia Community

Mid-Town Parish United Methodist Church is located at 7th and Norris Streets, in the heart of North Philadelphia. For 175 years the church has remained a focal point of local missions in the community.  In the past the Church effectively reached out to the neighborhood providing resources such as daycare, afterschool programs, and youth discipline through sports and spirituality amongst other activities and programs.

Currently Mid-Town implements efforts such as Vacation Bible School and Passport to Manhood, which provide educational enrichment to youth; the Benefit Bank, a free service allowing our trained counselors to assist individuals with applying for many state and federal benefits such as Property Tax and Rent Rebates; the Kensill Fund For Hope scholarship fund to help local students achieve their goals of reaching higher education; community activities such as Fall Fellowship and Community Day in which Mid-Town provides food, clothing, school supplies, and other valuable resources to the public; and youth events such as the Annual Youth Day, Checker Tournaments, Student Recognition Day and various workshops to uplift, encourage and  teach the youth throughout the community valuable lessons and principles (we value our youth!).

God has placed on the hearts of the members of Mid-Town to do even more in the coming years with the rebuilding of our church edifice. Mid-Town is continually looking for new ways to serve and show our love for our community…and shares the soul-saving gospel of Jesus Christ!
