What we found
We searched for the church by name together with Bangui and the Central African Republic. A Central African news site reported that the congregation of the Église Évangélique des Frères Philadelphie celebrated its fiftieth anniversary on Sunday 30 January 2022, together with the dedication of its former building (Oubangui Médias), which points to a long-established local church, although that article does not state the neighbourhood. The wider family it belongs to is also documented: the Union des Églises Évangéliques des Frères in the country was founded on 14 December 1968 at the General Conference in Bossangoa (ueef-rca.org, the denomination's own site). We found no Facebook page, map listing, directory entry or website for this particular congregation, and nothing linked to the contact email given. We found no scam reports, complaints or warnings about it, and no sign the name is only a personal brand.
Our conclusion: A Central African news outlet (Oubangui Médias) reported that the Église Évangélique des Frères Philadelphie celebrated its fiftieth anniversary on Sunday 30 January 2022 in Bangui, which shows a long-established congregation. Its wider church family, the Union des Églises Évangéliques des Frères, founded in 1968 at Bossangoa, is documented on its own site and stands within historic Trinitarian Christianity. No website, social page or directory l
