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 December is The Practice of Presence.
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 will be offered on “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.
