The Apostolic Revival Church (ARC) of Philadelphia is a Pentecostal Apostolic Spirit-filled Christian Church Ministered by Pastor John A Edwards. We are located in the Kensington Community in the North Philadelphia Area of Pennsylvania in the United States.


We believe in Jesus as the one and only true living God, and the Word of God from the entire Bible (Old and New Testaments). We believe everyone should hear and know the Gospel of Jesus, and more from the Doctrines of the Apostles and Disciples of Christ. Then they are to believe unto Salvation from Jesus as the process is divinely described at Acts 2:38 in the New Testament, preached and taught by the Apostles of Jesus, and also passed on to us under Grace in today's world.


ARC is a holy friendly Assembly of Saints of God who welcome everyone who visits our Church as Guests of Pastor Edwards, his family and the Fellowship Members of the Church. You are welcome to visit the other pages of our Church Website to discover and like more things about ARC Saints and Pastor Edwards. Please contact us with any questions or concerns so we can help or answer in the best way possible and to your satisfaction. God bless us all as Believers in the one true God: Jesus.

What the the Bible says and we believe:

Jesus answered, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born of water and of the Spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God. (John 3:5 KJV)

Then Peter said unto them, Repent, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost. (Acts 2:38 KJV)


"And it came to pass, that, while Apollos was at Corinth, Paul having passed through the upper coasts came to Ephesus: and finding certain disciples, He said unto them, Have ye received the Holy Ghost since ye believed? And they said unto him, We have not so much as heard whether there be any Holy Ghost. And he said unto them, Unto what then were ye baptized? And they said, Unto John's baptism. Then said Paul, John verily baptized with the baptism of repentance, saying unto the people, that they should believe on him which should come after him, that is, on Christ Jesus. When they heard this, they were baptized in the name of the Lord Jesus. And when Paul had laid his hands upon them, the Holy Ghost came on them; and they spake with tongues, and prophesied" (Acts 19:1-6 KJV).


Follow peace with all men, and holiness, without which no man shall see the Lord. (Hebrews 12:14 KJV)
