come and see
what will happen?
We seek to awaken people's hearts and minds to a transformative connection with God through simple, encouraging, and authentic practices of worship. We'll sing songs to God, listen to a relevant biblical talk from one of our pastors, and take communion together. Our music is a blend of modern praise and well-loved hymns.
Who will be there?
On a typical Sunday, you'll find a community of 85-100 everyday people at different points in their faith journey. From kids to college students, young professionals to retirees, new parents to grandparents, people from every generation and many different backgrounds come together to learn and live the ways of Jesus.

is there stuff for kids?
Infants through fifth graders are invited to join “Yinz Kidz,” where we teach kids how to learn and live the ways of Jesus. Scroll down to learn more about our Yinz Kidz ministry.
Kids of any age are also welcome to sit with you. We also have a room located in the basement for nursing moms with a live stream of the gathering.

Wear and where?
What should I wear?
You are free to wear what you feel comfortable in; that's a casual look for most people.
Where are you located?
We are grateful to be able to gather inside Squirrel Hill Christian Church, home to a 100+-year-old congregation that generously allows us to share its space.

Our desire is to teach kids how to learn and live the ways of Jesus in a safe and fun environment. We aim for your child to know that God made them, God loves them, and Jesus wants to be their friend forever!

Yinz Kidz currently has classes for children in fifth grade and under. We can't wait to get to know your family!
arrive @ 10:30 am
We recommend arriving 15 minutes early to check in and get settled. When you come, please follow the signs to Yinz Kidz Check-In in the basement. You can also ask one of our volunteers to help guide you. Once you reach the check-in table, a volunteer will assist you in getting checked in. Your child will receive a sticker name tag, and you will receive a claim ticket. You need the claim ticket to pick up your child from their classroom.
SAFETY IS A PRIORITY
All of our volunteers have been background-checked and trained in safety procedures.
