Embracing Truth Ministries

About this church

Embracing Truth Ministries at 35th and Spring Garden in Philadelphia begins Sunday School at 10:00 a.m. The homepage lists worship at 11:30 and a Facebook livestream at noon, while the church-history page says morning worship begins at 11:15. Because those official pages conflict by fifteen minutes, first-time visitors should arrive by 11:15 or confirm directly. Bethany House of Worship is also listed Sundays from 4:30 to 5:30 p.m., with periodic afternoon services announced separately.

The congregation's mission is to make disciples and restore broken lives through direct, Bible-centered teaching. Its history includes mergers, church plants, and a separate western ministry in Chester County, so visitors should distinguish the Philadelphia service from ETM West and from older affiliated congregations described on the site. The church explicitly appeals to people seeking preaching without prosperity teaching or softened biblical claims. That clear theological posture, combined with the service-time discrepancy, gives prospective guests both substantive and practical information: they can assess the teaching emphasis in advance, but should not rely on a single page for the exact worship start.
