A Safe Place to Dream: Christopher's Story and Hope Center Philly's Vision

July 28, 2025
This is our Christopher, a bright spirit living in Southwest Philadelphia with his grandmother, mother, and baby sister, Christina. Four years ago, during our first pop-up church in Connell Park, Christopher shared with Pastor Leah that visiting the park was his favorite activity! When asked what he wanted God to change about the park, his heartfelt response was, “No more shootings!” Since then, Christopher has become our poster child, embodying our mission to create and restore safe places in Southwest. He and his family played a vital role in launching the City Life Southwest location and continue to faithfully join CLSW dinner services and pop-up church. Christopher inspired our 2023 City Life Vision Night just before our launch, as his grandmother Sybil brought him to church to go on stage before the congregation to express his hope and dream for City Life Southwest Church to be a safe place in the community. It is no coincidence that our mission for Hope Center Philly is to foster a safe place for hopes and dreams to flourish. Written By Deni Knox, Board Member
