WELCOME!

First Unitarian Church of Pittsburgh has been providing a liberal religious presence in Pittsburgh since 1890. We are located at the corner of Morewood and Ellsworth Avenues in Shadyside.

The heart of our mission is to promote love, reason and freedom in religion, to foster lifelong spiritual growth, and to act for social justice. We encourage seekers of all faiths, nationalities, races, genders, ages, abilities and sexual orientations to visit our congregation. We hope that you will find the spiritual home that you are seeking.

We are a religious community founded on individual freedom with responsibility and openness to truth wherever it may be found. In the fullest expression of our faith, we seek to support each other in the quest for meaning, in the celebration and enrichment of our common life and in our commitment to enhance the quality of life for all.  Guided by individual conscience and wisdom from many sources, we gather in worship and service to nourish the spirit, work for justice, and celebrate the divine in all.

Monthly Message from Reverend David Herndon

First Unitarian Church welcomes Renee Zimelis Ruchotzke as student intern.

In July - August at First Unitarian Church

NOTE: With regard to summer Sundays, our policy is to hold services downstairs in the Gallery whenever the weather forecast indicates that the temperature will rise above 80 degrees on Sunday. We will make this decision each week on Friday. The Gallery offers relief from the heat that can make the Sanctuary quite uncomfortable in the summer. Moreover, on summer Sundays when we do use the Sanctuary, we may keep the lights off to keep the Sanctuary a little cooler.
