Our History

City Line Church was originally formed out of Renewal Presbyterian Church (previously the English Ministry of Emmanuel Church) in West Philadelphia.  The Lord worked in the hearts of multiple individuals clearly pointing towards planting a new church. Pastor Steve Kim faithfully spearheaded the project, supported by a launch team of twelve. Pastor Steve became the church planter and first pastor at City Line Church.

The church began in 2004 as a church plant of the Presbyterian Church in America, and later became an established church with its own leadership team of installed elders in November of 2008. Pastor Jason Hsu served as the second pastor of City Line from 2013 to 2023. City Line grew and matured under Pastor Jason's wise leadership. Pastor Jason received a new pastoral call and Pastor Ryan Egli became the pastor at City Line Church at the end of 2023.
