Pittsburgh may be known for its 3 major sport’s teams, many bridges, Primanti Bro's Sandwiches, Heinz ketchup but it lays claim to being “home” to tens of thousands of university students and international refugees as well as whole communities longing for the hope found in Jesus. Students from all over the world are coming to Pittsburgh to further their education, creating a unique blend of nationalities and cultures in our own backyard. An astounding number of Nepali and Burmese (more specifically the Karen people group) refugees now call Pittsburgh home.

Did you know there are a whopping 90 neighborhoods that make up Pittsburgh? The basketball courts in the Hill District are bordered by the businesspeople in Downtown on the west, the multi-cultural vendors in the Strip District, the city’s best pierogies and kielbasy in Polish Hill on the north, the lawyers of Bluff (Uptown) on the southwest, and energetic university students and NHL’s Penguins arena in Oakland on the east and southeast. Our neighborhoods are as diverse as our people! Isn’t that a little glimpse of what heaven is like in Revelation 7? We invite you to partner with us in reaching the diverse demographics of our city in a variety of ways.
