Church of the Saviour is a nondenominational Christ-centered church of approximately 1,000 people
in the Philadelphia suburb of Wayne, Pennsylvania. We are called by Jesus Christ to engage our
community and beyond to the glory of God. We take the Great Commission and the Great
Commandment seriously and generously support local outreach and global missions. We have
personally experienced the Good News of Jesus Christ and now count it both a privilege and honor to
be ministers of reconciliation to a lost and hurting world. We depend on the Holy Spirit to enable and
empower us to fulfill God’s plan for our lives and our church. We are certain that Christ is supreme in
all things, and we are most fully alive and fulfilled when most fully glorifying Him.
