Interior, Tenth Presbyterian Church.

Exalting His Name, Proclaiming His Word

Tenth Presbyterian Church—the tenth Presbyterian church founded in Philadelphia—began in 1829 on the northeast corner of 12th and Walnut Streets.

About 25 years later, 1855—56, Tenth started a daughter church at 17th and Spruce in order to meet the needs of the expanding city. Nearly 40 years later, in 1893, the original church closed, sold its building, and merged with the daughter church. The newly combined churches then took on the original church's name, Tenth Presbyterian Church.

We are a church of the Presbyterian Church in America (PCA), a young denomination founded in 1973. Tenth joined with the PCA in 1982, consistent with our alignment to historical Presbyterian tradition and beliefs.

Our hope and vision for Tenth Presbyterian Church is that through the power of the Holy Spirit we will see the making and maturing of committed followers of the Lord Jesus to the glory of God the Father.

Our hope and vision for Philadelphia is the spread of the gospel (good news) of grace by announcing Jesus’ finished work on the cross, his resurrection life, and present reign. As God’s people we seek the welfare of our communities by entering fully into the world of work and culture to love and serve our neighbors in his name. As a church we cultivate partnerships with church planters and mercy ministries across the region.

Our hope and vision for the world is that the gospel would go forth with power and that many people would come to know Jesus as Lord and Savior. We are committed to sending and supporting workers who labor to bring the good news of Jesus to the world.
