Our Purpose

We believe that our church should be a glimmer of God’s good reign made up of people from all races, classes and generations. Because of this, we are committed to serving Jefferson Hills, Pleasant Hills and the surrounding towns by offering real help for real people. We have a heart to include people on the 'margins.' If you feel unwanted or inadequate, we know that's not true and welcome you here, whether you're facing addiction, poverty, severe family dysfunction or other difficult things. 

We also have a strong family focus, because we know the challenges of raising children. Children need instruction at their level, and parents need periodic encouragement and teaching that is specifically about being a parent. 

God calls His church to be a positive contributor to its community and we embrace that calling. Our hearts are glad to serve and we desire God's Spirit to keep moving us beyond ourselves and share the grace and truth of Jesus wherever we are.  

We are Presbyterian in our governing (which means we're led by a group, not just the pastor) and belong to the Presbyterian Church in America (PCA).
