The INN: Metro Philadelphia
The INN (International Neighborhood Network) in Metro Philadelphia region has the 5th largest Muslim population of all major American cities, the highest concentration of Hindu’s in the US (New Jersey), and tens of thousands of Arabic speakers. The immigrant population in Philadelphia County has increased 68% since 2000 and is one of the main factors in the city’s population growth over the last 20 years.
Our goal is to minister to Muslim, Hindu, and Arabic speaking diaspora in the Metro Phila. region. Come join this multicultural team and use your skills, education, and spiritual gifts to participate in an exciting church planting team serving our new neighbors.
Are you interested in helping to establish disciple-making movements among unreached diaspora? We currently have team members serving in Philadelphia, Camden County, and Cherry Hill, NJ who are interested in expanding throughout the Metro Philadelphia region!
Ministry focuses include resettlement assistance, ESL, cricket, a church plant, bible studies, media, and more!
Do you long to see God’s kingdom take root in the hearts of the nations living in the Philadelphia Metro area? Join us as we seek to imitate Christ through our loving presence, service, and biblical community. Our desire is to be the unmistakable aroma of Christ in our community.
Join The INN and use your skills, education, and spiritual gifts to serve the nations among us! Formal Bible training and an exposure to missiological principles is helpful, but not required.
