Our Services

What are services like?
We use Lutheran Service Book for all our services. Services are conducted with ceremonies, such as singing the Liturgy, kneeling, making the sign of the cross, and more. These things teach us about Christ, and our pastor talks about what these ceremonies mean. If you would like to commune with us but are not a member of an LCMS congregation, please speak with our pastor first. We believe that communing together shows that we believe all the same things.

What is the community like?
We have a wide range in ages, and people come from many parts of the Pittsburgh area.

What if I'm not a Christian?
Come join us! Pastor is more than happy to tell you about Jesus.
