Core Values

Spiritual Development: We believe God is dynamically at work in the life of every person. We aim to meet people where they are–to learn from their spiritual experiences and share ours. We seek to enhance the experience of God through worship, educational offerings and spiritual friendship.

Community

Situated at the nexus of Philadelphia's most divergent populations, BSM works hard to create common ground, practice radical and intentional inclusiveness, and encourage meaningful dialogue across societal divides.

Hospitality

BSM endeavors to a be a 'Cathedral' that welcomes, serves, shelters supports and befriends our community regardless of faith commitments or lack thereof. We attempt to provide our neighbors with the encouragement and resources that are needed to experience the flourishing God intends for everyone

Creativity

BSM fosters the arts as an expression of imagination, beauty and a medium to raise social consciousness. We strive to provide sanctuary, support, and exhibition space for under-resourced artists whose gifts inspire, challenge and elevate the human spirit..

Civic Engagement

We recognize faith as a catalyst for broad social change and encourage a commitment to discipleship that begins at the church doors, and moves outward., demanding the investment of our lives and affecting the welfare of our community, our city, and our world.
