House Church

Sundays at 12pm

Our house church meets right across the street from CMU. After you request to join this gathering, a leader will reach out soon to set up a time to meet you personally over coffee or lunch. We find that walking into a new community for the first time feels entirely different when there's already someone in the room who knows your name and your story.

We're a 2 minute walk from CMU, and a short bus ride down Forbes from Pitt.
