We are a community of believers seeking to follow Jesus in Pittsburgh. We do this through lives of worship, growth and humble service, to those inside and outside of our community.
As a community of believers no one thinks that he or she is perfect, yet we are committed to understanding how we can more and more reflect Jesus. Because of this, we do not think that you need to have a PhD in Christianity to be welcome among us. In fact, we seek to welcome anyone willing to explore Jesus with us.
We want to be a warm community for all kinds of people, including older singles, new people in town, single parents, and people who have never attended church before.
Here are some answers to frequently asked questions about the church to give you a picture of what City Reformed...
What kind of people make up City Reformed?
Our community is made up of, young adults, older singles, married couples without kids, grandparents and families of all sizes, with children of all ages. Many of our families have been impacted by the pain of divorce, death and illness. Our church is consciously serving the people groups that surround the universities and colleges of Pittsburgh. This includes students, laborers, professionals, scholars, and full time mothers. In short anyone who is intertwined with the City of Pittsburgh is likely to show up at our church. However, because the university community has a larger number of students than other parts of the country, the average age of our members is probably lower than many other American churches.
You do not need to have an advanced degree in Christianity to attend City Reformed. In fact, we make it a point to explain everything that we do in a way that makes it understandable to people who have never been to church. We frequently have people join us for worship that come from different religious traditions or from no religious tradition at all. We do not expect everyone to agree with what we believe and we welcome honest dialogue.
