Hosted By
Emergent Pittsburgh

Emergent Pittsburgh is a gathering of people in Pittsburgh seeking to reorient the whole church (people and structures) around the mission heart of God (Misio Dei) and the incarnational ministry of Jesus. We come from a variety of church traditions, ethnic backgrounds and missional contexts. We gather regularly to learn, encourage, connect, catalyze, sharpen and listen to one another as we journey together to in our different contexts.
