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 typically 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 November is Nurturing Gratitude.
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.
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
Oct 26 | Open Space Sunday
We are starting early with our exploration of November’s spiritual theme – Nurturing Gratitude. The sanctuary is our setting for meditation and personal reflection at 10:30am. At 11:00, member Cynthia Carpathios, will share reflections on gratitude, and invite discussion from those in attendance. All are welcome!
Nov 2 | All-Souls Reflection
The liminal nature of these early November days was felt in older, pre-Christian traditions. It was recognized as a “thin time” when the veil between this world and what is beyond this world feels especially permeable, when the connection to ancestors feels closer. Join Lee Saville-Iksic as we offer a time of reflection, poetry, music, and ritual for this season of all souls. Everyone is welcome!
Nov 9 | Open Space Sunday
Join us for a video featuring William Ury, one of the greatest living negotiators and mediators of our time. Member Cynthia Carpathios will be inviting those so inspired to join her in a study of his book, Possible: How We Survive (and Thrive) in an Age of Conflict, with a look at applying his approach to the conflicts in our personal lives, in our relationships with each other as a congregation, in how we relate to our fractured and polarized world.
