Allegheny Unitarian Universalist Church
We are a welcoming, urban congregation that puts Unitarian Universalism into action by celebrating life, nourishing the spirit, and inspiring a commitment to justice.
Join Us for Sunday Worship
Sunday worship at Allegheny offers an opportunity to find spiritual refreshment, inspiration, and joy. We worship together in the church sanctuary. Services are led by members and friends with Rev. David McFarland and Rev. Deryck Tines offering their reflections every month at Worship Café. Join us on the First and Third Sundays of the month for a unique experience at Soul Space and Worship Café. Second and Fourth Sundays are Open Space Sundays.
Soul Space | 10:30 am
Together, we create a contemplative setting for reflection and renewal. The service begins with welcoming words and prayer, and concludes with a time of reflection. The Soul Space spiritual theme for January is The Practice of Story.
Worship Café | 11:00 am
Each month at the Worship Café, Allegheny welcomes Rev. Dave and Rev. Deryck to share their thoughts and passions to inspire us on the way.
PrayerSong | 6:30 pm on Fifth Sundays
PrayerSong is offered on most “Fifth Sundays” at 6:30 pm in the sanctuary. PrayerSong uses silence, inspiring words, prayer, and the singing of chants and rounds to quiet the mind and promote deeper reflection. It can be the perfect contemplative setting for those seeking renewal, connection, and peace.
All Are Welcome
You’ll find amazing people here from diverse religious backgrounds and on varied spiritual paths.
We are an LGBTQ Welcoming Congregation.

Allegheny Sunday
Jan 5 | Rev. David McFarland
Rev. Dave begins our January spiritual journey with his reflections on the month’s theme, The Practice of Story. Please join us in the sanctuary as we explore what it means to be a “house of stories.”
Jan 12 | Open Space Sunday
As we contemplate this month’s theme, The Practice of Story, how can we be an uplifting page in someone else’s story? Join Lisa LaRue for the second round of making homemade cards to lift others’ spirits. All supplies will be provided, and Lisa will mail out the finished cards. Lisa has recipients to suggest, but please feel free to bring the address of anyone in your personal story to whom you may want to send a card. Open meditation in the sanctuary will be available as well. Come and participate in either or both. We would enjoy having you be a part of Allegheny’s story on this Open Space Sunday!
Jan 19 | Rev. Deryck Tines
At the Worship Café, Rev. Deryck reflects on this month’s spiritual theme, The Practice of Story as we honor the life and legacy of civil rights leader Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Please join us for worship in the sanctuary.
Jan 26 | Open Space Sunday
Join us for an Open Space Sunday this week, with the sanctuary open for meditation and
personal reflection from 10:30 to 11:00 am. At 11:00, Cynthia Carpathios, a member of the
Allegheny worship team will share a story and invite those in attendance to explore together its implications for bringing about positive change in our world. All are welcome.
