Mount Carmel Baptist Church is a historic Baptist congregation in West Philadelphia. Founded in 1882,[1] it is at 5732 Race Street.
Donald D. Moore is its pastor.[2] He was installed in 2014.[3] Former Philadelphia mayor W. Wilson Goode performed the service's benediction. Moore succeeded Albert F. Campbell.[3] Campbell has written two books about his life and work.[4] It has operated a food pantry, clothing donation center, and housing development (Mt. Carmel Gardens).[5] The Philadelphia Inquirer referred to the church as a West Philadelphia landmark.[5]
Dennie Hoggard Sr., who served in the Pennsylvania House of Representatives and whose son Dennie Hoggard Jr. along with Wally Triplett integrated Penn State football and the Cotton Bowl, was its pastor. Darren Ferguson also served as its pastor and appeared on C-Span.[6]
Tony Campolo served as an associate pastor.[7] The church had a track team.[8]
A memorial service for Wilt Chamberlain was held at the church. Paul Arizin and Tom Gola attended.[9]
Philadelphia mayor Michael Nutter spoke at the church in a critique of flash mobs attacking people.[10] Anthony Hardy Williams hosted a forum on education and charter schools at the church.[11] In February 2023, Democratic Party candidates for mayor were part of a forum held at the church.[12]
