As a community of Christians, we gather both as a whole church, and as smaller groups, at different times, and in different ways. Sometimes our gatherings are larger, more formal, and organized, while others are smaller and more relaxed.

Coming together as a community is something which we hold in high regard. The Author of Hebrews puts it this way in 10:24-25: "let us consider how to stir up one another to love and good works, not neglecting to meet together." (ESV)

Sunday Worship

Each Sunday we come together as a whole community. These Sunday gatherings start at 11 AM and are held in the heart of Oakland, at the present at the Peterson Events Center on the University of Pittsburgh campus. Starting August 30th we will be at the Pittsburgh Athletic Association (4215 Fifth Ave.)

This time includes spiritual teaching, worship, prayer, and the observation of the sacraments. Additionally, the time following this service is a great opportunity for getting to know people and fellowshipping with them.  Dress for the Sunday worship service is casual - come as you are.

You are also welcome to join us at 10:30 AM before the service as we pray together.

Children at City Reformed

At City Reformed, we view it as a high calling of our whole church body to welcome and to help teach the children among us. Our approach may look a bit different from that of other churches. You can read more about kids at City Reformed here.

Community Groups

Our community groups are held throughout Pittsburgh. Each group is defined by where it meets, though some groups have more young people and singles, while others are more geared towards families and offer childcare. It is in our small groups that deep, life-changing community is fostered. A list of groups can be found here .

Discipleship Groups

Our Discipleship groups are places where people make a stronger commitment to their group by staying with one group for the entire duration of a course of study. These groups are closed after they have begun the study to foster intimacy within the group.  The groups will last for the duration of the study and are usually comprised of 5-6 people.  New groups form on a regular basis.

Foundation Lectures and Leadership Quarterly Meetings

Four times a year, we hold our  Foundation Lectures. These forums create a place for deeper examination of important topics that might not be addressed else where. Previous lectures have examined the Emergent Church, the nature of Scripture, and a biblical view of life and death. We use the time before our Foundation Lectures to gather all of our leaders together for a time of prayer and debriefing.

Special Events

On Occasion we also have special events or services, which include dinners, special services, and other fun gatherings.  Additionally, members of our church help to bring conferences on a variety subjects to Pittsburgh, such as "Is Pacifism More Christian?", and "The Outrageous Idea of Christian Scholarship."
