Cholesterol is a waxy material found in every cell in the body. It is an essential part of cell membranes and also certain hormones.

 

Worship. Our diverse congregation with people of varied racial, ethnic, religious and socioeconomic backgrounds is a microcosm of the metropolitan area of Pittsburgh. We embrace this wonderful collage by offering various worship services and ways to experience God’s presence.

Mission Support and Community Involvement. We are deeply involved in Christian ministry to its community both locally and globally through ministries of justice and peacemaking.

Education. We are a spirit-led community dedicated to teaching each other, using scriptural and theological resources, our own inquiries and experiences, as well as exploring the faith of those who have gone
before us.

Pastoral and Spiritual Care. Members of our pastoral staff offer genuine help in dealing with problems, making decisions, facing responsibilities or seeking forgiveness. Lay people, through our Stephen Ministry program, are also skilled and trained in caregiving.
