The Reformed Episcopal Church of the Atonement is a historic church in the Germantown neighborhood of Philadelphia. It is a parish of the Reformed Episcopal Church's Diocese of the Northeast and Mid-Atlantic and a contributing property to the Tulpehocken Station Historic District. [1]

While the current building (designed by Norman A. Hulme [2] ) dates to 1929, the church was founded in 1875 as the Third Reformed Episcopal Church. [3] It took its current name by 1894. [4] Two former pastors of the church, William Culbertson III and Willie Hill (bishop), later became bishops of the Reformed Episcopal Church. Rev Daniel M Stearns also served a notable 28-year pastorate with this congregation. [5]
