Not more than a brief mention in the weakest of secondary sources. As far as I can tell, this institution doesn't exist anymore. There is no value to keeping this stub article, which can never be anything other than a two line description. Yes, it was a church in Philadelphia. This article does no one any service.

 * leaning delete It seems to have attracted a little notice as a example of an emergent church, but its original pastor moved on to Oregon (and other things) and the church seems to have evaporated sometime in 2015 after the move into sharing another church's space. And at this point not a single one of the original sources is accessible, and a fair number of them seem to be articles about the emergent movement in which it seems to have appeared as an example. At present the only sources are the church's archived website, and the former pastor's blog. CONG (which was used as the justification for keeping on the last go-'round) failed, and at any rate the message here is that until someone writes a history of a church, it probably isn't notable.
