About
“Relationship, Not Religion”
“Connecting the Hearts of People to the Heart of God”
The King’s Table Church is a vibrant, Christ-centered ministry with a rich history of faith, service, outreach, and a commitment to connecting people to the heart of God.
Founded in 2000 by Elders Greg and Baroness Martin, the ministry began in North Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, as Bethel Holy Temple, originally serving under the Mt. Sinai Holy Churches of America. From its beginning, the church was established with a passion for reaching people with the Gospel of Jesus Christ through powerful biblical preaching and teaching, prayer, worship, discipleship, and compassionate service.
What began as a growing congregation in North Philadelphia quickly became a strong community ministry. As the church grew spiritually and numerically, so did its commitment to ministering beyond the walls of the sanctuary and meeting the practical needs of people throughout the community.
A PLACE AT THE KING’S TABLE
The name King’s Table Church reflects the heart and mission of the ministry.
In 2 Samuel 9, King David sought out Mephibosheth and extended an invitation that changed his life: “thou shalt eat bread at my table continually” (2 Samuel 9:7).
Mephibosheth came to the king’s table because the king extended grace and invited him into relationship. At the table, his position changed. He was no longer defined by where he had been, what had happened to him, or what he lacked. He was given a place of belonging and treated “as one of the king’s sons” (2 Samuel 9:11).
This picture captures the heart of King’s Table Church. There is a place at the King’s Table for everyone.
Our desire is to lead people beyond religious routine into an authentic and transforming relationship with Jesus Christ. This is why our ministry motto remains:
RELATIONSHIP, NOT RELIGION.
We are committed to CONNECTING THE HEARTS OF PEOPLE TO THE HEART OF GOD—helping people know Christ personally, grow in His Word, discover their God-given purpose, and become equipped to serve others.
SERVING OUR COMMUNITY
Outreach has always been at the heart of King’s Table Church.
Throughout its history, the ministry has worked to meet both the spiritual and practical needs of individuals and families experiencing food insecurity, homelessness, displacement, and other hardships.
Its extensive food and community outreach ministry grew to become the second-largest food distribution serving underserved and unhoused communities in Philadelphia, providing food and needed resources while sharing the love and compassion of Jesus Christ.
For King’s Table Church, ministry does not stop at the church doors. We believe the Gospel must be preached, but the love of Christ must also be demonstrated.
FROM THE HOME FIELD TO THE FOREIGN FIELD
The vision of King’s Table Church extends far beyond Philadelphia.
Through its Foreign Missions Ministry, the church has carried the Gospel and the love of Jesus Christ internationally, serving in Guyana, India, Jamaica, Trinidad, and Haiti.
On the home field, King’s Table Church has also served and ministered throughout the United States, building relationships and working alongside churches, leaders, organizations, and ministries from diverse backgrounds.
We believe that the Kingdom of God is greater than any one congregation, denomination, culture, or geographic location. Therefore, King’s Table Church embraces opportunities to partner with multiple and diverse ministries for the advancement of the Gospel of Jesus Christ.
“Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature.” — Mark 16:15 (KJV)
KINGDOM. COMMUNITY. GENERATIONS.
Today, King’s Table Church is located in the Germantown community of Philadelphia and continues the vision established more than 25 years ago: building people, strengthening families, serving communities, and advancing the Kingdom of God.
The ministry continues to thrive through powerful preaching and teaching, prayer, worship, discipleship, missions, community outreach, and the development of the next generation.
There is a strong and growing emphasis on youth and women’s ministry, creating opportunities for children, young people, and women to deepen their relationship with Christ, discover and develop their spiritual gifts, understand their God-given purpose, and become active participants in ministry and service.
King’s Table Church remains committed to being a ministry where people from every walk of life can encounter Jesus Christ, experience His love, grow in His Word, find community, and discover that there is a place for them at the King’s Table.​
THERE IS A PLACE FOR YOU AT THE KING’S TABLE.
“...thou shalt eat bread at my table continually.” — 2 Samuel 9:7 (KJV)
