Deliverance Evangelistic Church

Deliverance Evangelistic Church "Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of God." (Matt. 4:4) Benjamin Salters and Mrs. Essie Salters.

The Deliverance Evangelistic Church was organized in 1961 with 10 members who came together in a prayer meeting under the leadership of the late Rev. The fellowship rapidly outgrew their residence and moved to a building at the corner of 25th and Jefferson Streets in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. At that time the late Rev. Benjamin Smith, Sr. was used in these meetings to expound the word and minist

er to the needs of the people. The attendance grew, and in 1961 the members felt a need to establish a church. As God increased the membership, they secured a lager facility at 22nd Street and Columbia Avenue, (Phila., PA). The emphasis and efforts of the members were directed towards street evangelism. Multitudes accepted Christ as their personal Savior, which necessitated the relocation of the congregation in 1963. The move was at a vacant theater with a seating capacity of 900, in the Tioga section of the city. On May 13th, 1973, the first worship service was held in its former location at 4732 North Broad Street, (Phila., PA). This large reconstructed theater was able to accommodate 3,000 and included several closed circuit television rooms that allowed the overflowing crowd to participate in the service. Through prayer and fasting for souls, God has continued to multiply our membership. The church has established over 60 departments for education, leadership training and personal development for all believers. On Sunday, August 30, 1992, the Deliverance Evangelistic family dedicated a new edifice, and educational facility at 2001 W. Lehigh Avenue, (Phila., PA). Our new edifice which seats 5,100 people was dedicated to the work of the Lord by a crowd of members, friends and associates. To God be the Glory! The vision continues to be carried out by Pastor Glen Spaulding, Senior Pastor of Deliverance Evangelistic Church.

The hearts of the people of God who are members of the Deliverance Evangelistic Church family are heavy at the passing of our precious sister in Christ, Leona Bostick. What a worker in the kingdom, doing all she could with the gifts and talents she was blessed to possess. Many years laboring in the School District of Philadelphia with students from our communities, and retiring to serve with her gifts of singing, dancing, decorating, and then help even further in serving meals to those who have lost loved ones at funeral repasses. What a life of giving, a life of serving, a life of helping. Yes, she was a worker: steadfast, unmovable, always abounding in the work of the Lord. And I'm so sure she knew that her labor in the Lord was not in vain. Praying for her dear husband Leon and all the family.

Saints of God still proclaim:

All the way my Savior leads me,
Oh, the fullness of His grace!
Perfect rest to me is promised
In my Father's blessed embrace.
When my spirit, clothed immortal,
Wings its flight to realms of day,
This my song through endless ages,
Jesus led me all the way.

Lovingly,
Pastor Glen & Lady Rhonda Spaulding
