Allegheny Unitarian Universalist Church
All are welcome
We are an LGBTQ Welcoming Congregation.
(love is love, yinz)
Who we are
Our mission is to nurture love and compassion in our congregation, our communities, and our world.
You’ll find amazing people here from diverse religious backgrounds and on varied spiritual paths. You are invited no matter what you believe, where you normally worship, or how you feel about God or spirituality. Come no matter how you’re dressed or what kind of mood you’re in. Come, especially, if you need to feel the support of a community.
We may do some things differently that you’ve never seen at church. We’ll light a chalice, talk about our joys and sorrows, and about the spirit of life. Yes we talk about Unitarian Universalism but you’ll also hear about Christianity, Judaism, Hinduism, Buddhism, Humanism, Atheism, Earth-centered Spirituality, Paganism, and other religions and traditions. It’s all good. Afterwards we’ll hang around and talk, and hopefully get to know each other a bit.
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. Deryck Tines and Lee Saville-Iksic offering their reflections at Worship Square. Open Space Sundays offer a variety of experiences and opportunities to deepen our spiritual selves.
Soul Space | 10:30 am: Together, we create a contemplative setting for reflection and renewal.
Worship Square | 11:00 am: Each month at the Worship Square, Allegheny welcomes ministers and guests to share thoughts and reflections that inspire us on the way.
