Tenth Presbyterian Church

What Tenth Presbyterian Church does

Tenth Presbyterian Church is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit religious organization founded in 1829 in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, affiliated with the Presbyterian Church in America (PCA) denomination since 1982. The church operates from a historic campus at 1701 Delancey Street, originally designed by John McArthur with a Byzantine-decorated interior by Frank Miles Day, and conducts four weekly worship services (9AM, 11AM, 2PM, and 6:30PM) alongside a livestream operation that serves remote attendees globally.

The organization's technology stack is a conventional nonprofit digital platform: a WordPress-based website at tenth.org, native iOS and Android mobile applications, livestreaming infrastructure for live and archived worship, and the MyTenth member portal which handles online giving, event registration, member directory access, and volunteer background checks. A Sermon Resource Library spans from 1992 to the present, organized by scripture, topic, series, and author. No APIs, SDKs, or AI/ML capabilities are disclosed. Ministry products include Tenth Preschool (ACSI-certified, ages 0-5), Tenth College Fellowship with a Drexel Students for Christ chapter, Tenth City Network (a church-planting initiative), Adult Bible School, Maranatha youth ministry, and Global Outreach partnerships across six countries.

The business model is contribution-based: revenue derives primarily from weekly tithes and offerings, supplemented by a structured planned-giving program covering appreciated securities, Charitable IRA rollovers, appreciated real estate, charitable gift annuities, bequests, and employer matching gifts. Designated giving channels include a Church Ministry Fund, Outreach Fund, Building Fund, Deacons' Fund, and monthly Project of the Month. The FY2026 operating budget is $3,785,146 with YTD giving of $1,799,116 through July 31, 2026, against prior-year total giving of $1,494,020. The congregation is served by a staff of approximately 27 employees including pastors, administrators, and ministry leaders, with governance vested in elected Session Elders and Diaconate.
