About Us

Bible Union Fellowship Church was founded by the late Bishop John Wesley Lewis, in April of 1976. After much prayer he along with like-minded saints began our new church. Bishop Lewis would often express how the Lord had given him the name of our new church. “Bible” because he believed the people of God must be rooted and grounded in the Word of God. “Union” because as the Body of Christ, we should be united with one purpose and one mind. “Fellowship” because he firmly believed that the “tie that binds” becomes even stronger when we establish intimate relationships with each other by spending time and breaking bread together. Our church has become a spiritual anchor in West Philadelphia, making an impact in the community. The church follows the mantra of our founder who often stated, “How can we follow Jesus and not catch fish.”
