St Thomas Philadelphia

St Thomas Philadelphia All the latest news from the St Thomas Philadelphia - a base church of Network Church Sheffield. Our family name became Network Church Sheffield.

Our church was planted out of St Thomas Crookes (an Anglican / Baptist church in Crookes) beginning in 1998, under the leadership of Mike Breen. The planting out was in response to significant growth and also to a sense of call to the whole city. From the beginning, we have had a vision for outreach to the whole city, and an emphasis on mission in communities. We also have a heritage of initiating

and supporting discipleship in mission all around the world, and especially in Scandinavia, the United States and Australasia, and, as part of that, of raising and sending out leaders and missionaries around the world. We want to join with anyone who shares our heart for mission, especially in reaching Sheffield. For the first few years we met in rented locations, but in 2003 we were able to purchase the Philadelphia campus. The next year we became St Thomas Philadelphia, formally separated from St Thomas Crookes, and Paul Maconochie became senior leader. In 2009 we were joined by the Kings Centre, a Sheffield house church in Nether Edge, which shared our vision for cross-denominational mission to the whole city. We now have Anglican, Baptist and House Church roots and we continue to honour these ‘parents’ from whom we came. In 2011 we planted City:Base, with a focus on the city centre. City:Base became St Phillips, and legally independent, in 2015.

For many, a new year means fresh starts, new opportunities and a chance to begin again.

Students - maybe you didn’t get around to finding a church last term, or maybe you did but it just wasn’t the right fit. Why not give Philly a try this new year?

On Sunday 18th January, we’re welcoming students back to Sheffield with fresh pastries and hot drinks. Join us from 10am for a warm welcome, with our service starting at 10:30am.

Try something new this new year. Try Philly.
