On March 7, 2014 Ken & Viktoria moved into a missions house in the suburbs of Philadelphia, PA. 

​

In August 2015, God would make it clear to Ken & Viktoria that they were to plant a church and provide holistic ministry South Philadelphia in the Wilson Park community.

​

Wilson Park is a public housing development in South Philadelphia designated for families and older adults. The development consists of high-rise and low-rise buildings, with 727 apartments total that range in size from one to four bedrooms.

​

Upon feeling led to plant a church in South Philadelphia, we were told that it would be extremely difficult to gain access to the community, much less their facilities. On Tuesday, August 11th, we knocked on the residential director's door and received immediate favor. We were granted permission to come in and implement our God-given vision.

​

That Fall we began praying and serving in our community.  It soon became clear that we were in the right place, however, we realized that we would need a place to gather for worship and fellowship. In June of 2016 we signed the lease to our current space and began renovations.  On July 10th 2016 we held our very first worship service.  God was moving and continues to move!

​

To date we continue to receive decisions for Christ.

​
