Over 106 years ago, two women noticed a need to connect with and reach out to the people of Jefferson Hills. What started as a small Sunday School ministry grew into a church as hundreds of people acknowledged the immense love of God.
Now, over 106 years later, the communities within the Jefferson Hills area have changed immensely but God’s love for people has not. Today many people perceive that God is only available for 90 minutes on Sunday mornings although the Bible assures us that wherever we go God is there. He is the God of workplaces and gyms, college campus’ and high school hallways, big neighborhoods with big families, and small neighborhoods with huge dreams. He is a loving and compassionate God who wants good things for us-to see us find true happiness in an existence that includes Him.
That is why it is key, that as His followers, we take His presence out of the confines of the church building where it is limited to a Sunday morning experience and into the streets, and homes, and neighborhoods that make up this community. We have the capability and the responsibility to show people who lack hope that God is nearer than they thought and waiting to be included in their lives.
Our goal is develop and raise up a group of people who are not only hungry for God’s presence, but who eagerly desire to take the message of God’s desire for relationship with us to various places, neighborhoods, and communities. Those are the places where we live, work, play, and exist day to day. And as we do that, each week, we will come together and celebrate all that God has done, all of Who He is, and all that we are able to accomplish when we unselfishly allow ourselves to live out all that He has put in us.
