About Us

"Nurturing souls for Jesus Christ through worship, missions and ministry"

The English Evangelical Lutheran Church of Our Redeemer of Oakmont and Verona is an LCMS congregation in Oakmont, PA. We hold to The Church's historic teachings, liturgy, and hymnody. We operate a Christian Day School, starting with Pre-K at our church in Oakmont, and then going all the way up to Grade 12 at our campus at the end of Idaho Ave. in Penn Hills. We support missionaries in many places, including Latin America and India and Sri Lanka.
NOTE: This is one of two FaithStreet profiles for our congregation.



Our Services

Service Times

Sunday
10:45am
The Holy Communion is offered every Sunday.

What to Expect

What are services like?
We use the services and hymns in Lutheran Service Book. Ceremonies are used, such as chanting, making the sign of the cross, kneeling, and more. We believe these things teach us about Jesus. Communion is offered every Sunday. If you would like to commune at our congregation but are not currently a member of an LCMS congregation, please ask our Pastor to teach you what we believe first - we believe that communing together shows that we believe all the same things.

What is the community like?
We have people of all ages coming from both north and east of Pittsburgh. We are east of downtown Oakmont, on Pennsylvania Ave at 13th. St.

What if I'm not a Christian?
Join us. Pastor will be happy to teach you what Christians believe.
