Empowerment Programs Have Moved!
As we prepare to close our longtime home at 1315 Spruce Street on December 18, 2025, we remain fully committed to serving our community. This hub will be updated regularly with locations, schedules, and program updates throughout the transition.
Empowerment Programs Continue at St. Luke & The Epiphany
As of January 5, 2026, all Empowerment Programs — including the Elder Initiative, Peer Counseling, and Trans Programs — will operate out of: The Church of St. Luke & The Epiphany, (330 S. 13th Street, Philadelphia, PA 19107)
St. Luke’s has a long, affirming history with Philadelphia’s LGBTQ+ community, with approximately 70% of its congregation identifying as LGBTQ+. Its proximity to the Center and its shared mission make it an ideal temporary home for our programs.
