Church of the Week

We exist to practice the way of Jesus together in community, for the renewal of Pittsburgh and beyond. 

Lead Pastor

Ryan & Jasmine Kick

Although church planting wasn’t part of their original plan, Ryan and Jasmine couldn't escape the Holy Spirit's leading to respond to the spiritual ache around them. After over a decade of ministering to kids, students, and adults across the Northeast, they sensed that the cultural moment was shifting, and with it, the need for new expressions of church. They envisioned a church that forms resilient disciples who see Jesus as the One whose love still heals, whose truth still sets people free, and whose Kingdom is still good news.

They’ve called Pittsburgh home since 2018, drawn here by God's leading. Together with their two wonderful children, Elijah and Elora, they’re committed to seeing renewal and transformation spread throughout Pittsburgh. Both Ryan and Jasmine graduated from the University of Valley Forge, Ryan with a degree in Youth and Family Ministries and Jasmine with a degree in Ministry Leadership. Jasmine later earned her Master’s in Pastoral Counseling (marriage and family therapy) at Liberty University, while Ryan is currently pursuing his Master of Divinity at Luther Seminary.

Together, Ryan and Jasmine have co-pastored in diverse church settings: from large Baptist congregations to rural Pentecostal churches, suburban church plants, and multi-site Methodist ministries. These experiences shaped their view of the spiritual climate of the Western church, especially regarding the gaps in discipleship across denominational lines.

What began as a growing burden for those who feel spiritually displaced has become Homechurch, a community focused on holistic discipleship expressed through three central goals: to be with Jesus, to become like Jesus, and to do as He did. Their vision is to see a renewal in the Church as people make their home in Christ and allow Him to make His home in them. Through alternating rhythms of intimate house gatherings (Church Anywhere) and collective assembly (Church Together), they seek to join God’s ongoing work of renewal, trusting Him to draw the spiritually hungry, the curious, the burned-out, and the prodigals home.
