Our Neighborhood
We worship, work, minister, and play primarily in the neighborhood of Oakland. Many in our congregation reside here. Oakland is home to major regional universities, including The University of Pittsburgh and Carnegie Mellon University, as well as major regional hospitals such as UPMC Presbyterian / UPMC Montefiore, and Magee Women's Hospital. For recreation Pittsburghers from all over the city come to Oakland to relax at Schenley Park and to visit such attractions as the Carnegie museum and library, and Phipps Conservatory and Botanical Gardens.Parts of Oakland are spread over 3 city districts -- Central Oakland belonging to District 3, parts of West Oakland and South Oakland (home to the church office) in District 6, and North Oakland and parts of West Oakland occupying District 8. While many of our services, programs, and activities occur in the context of the cultural & academic affluence of our neighborhood, we also recognize our ties to the city at large, and indeed the world.
