Community Outreach

New-to-You Shop

Every other Thursday throughout the year, our New to You Shop is open to the community with free clothes and small household items. The shop is also a gathering space for community and church members to enjoy each other over a snack, which is often provided. Sometimes a family is burned out or in crisis, so we open the shop to them personally. To make a donation, please call the church office so that we can make sure that your donation is not left out in the rain or snow.

Wilkinsburg Sanctuary Project for Peace

Born out of the loss of too many young people to gun violence, the Wilkinsburg Sanctuary Project for Peace is a grassroots initiative to end gun violence and to provide enrichment for our youth as we raise up Wilkinsburg as a wonderful community in which to live, work, got to school, and worship. Several leading congregations work alongside nonprofits to provide outreach to our youth and to be a presence of peace on our streets. Annualy, we provide an Interfaith Prayer Vigil on Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Day, a youth Art and Talent Show for Peace, and a weeklong service and eucation camp called Project Peace. Pur church is honored to lead this effort. For more information, contact Pastor Janet.

Santa's Open House
Every December, our doors open wide to the families of Wilkinsburg with our annual open house during which we offer free food, free games and prizes and a free photograph with Santa Claus. Donations of prizes for boys and girls of all ages are always needed as well as lots of cookies!


This year’s open house will be slightly different because of Covid 19 restrictions, but we will be open with Santa, toys, food and clothing on Saturday, December 11 from 1–4pm. Pre-registration is encouraged so you don’t have to wait in line. Contact the church at (412) 241-3556 to pre-register.
