Germantown is a historic neighborhood in Northwest Philadelphia, rich with cultural diversity and deep roots in our city's history. Philadelphia has over 1.6 million residents, with Germantown contributing 31,638 of them and a median household income of $37,322. Our neighborhood is an integral part of Philly's vibrant urban landscape.
The area is known for its mix of cultures, offering a blend of long-time residents and newcomers from a broad ranger of backgrounds, with significant African American, Caribbean, and Hispanic populations, alongside smaller groups of Asian and white residents, which makes it one of the most diverse neighborhoods in the city.
Religious Make-Up: In Germantown, there is a rich tapestry of faith traditions. From longstanding African American churches to newer congregations of various denominations, including Baptists, Pentecostals, and Catholics, as well as a growing Muslim community and nearby mosque that draws 800–1,200 people each week. There are also those who identify with no religious affiliation but are open to spiritual exploration.
Evangelism and outreach in our neighborhood: RCF, in many ways, functions as a local mission. We throw block parties, host open-house community dinners, partner with ministries to provide door-to-door medical care, hold clothing drives, set up pop-up food banks, and even go caroling during Christmas time. We desire for every member to live out the Great Commission—whether they’re hanging out on their block or at a local park, inviting neighbors to dinner, working their jobs, or discovering creative opportunities to share the Gospel.
