Welcome to the Pittsburgh District
Church of the Nazarene
We are a district with a one hundred and three year old past and a missional future. The 93 active congregations, ReStart churches and NewStart church plants are reaching out to over 100,000 people every year in Western Pennsylvania. Whether you live in one of our cities, our numerous small towns or in the rural countryside, we probably have a congregation of people near you...a congregation that will welcome you, love you, help you connect with God and offer you the opportunity to serve Him.
We hope you find everything you need as you visit our website. Perhaps you, too, will find out that "Our Church Can Be Your Home."
Pittsburgh District -- Core Values
In addition to embracing the core values of the Church of the Nazarene -- Being Christian and Being Holy -- the Pittsburgh District shares the following core values:
Being Missional: We are called and sent as missionaries to share God's love in our local communities and around the world...wherever people need a life-transforming encounter with His Son, Jesus Christ.
Building Community: As people increasingly become high-tech and isolated, we offer a safe place where you can be connected to God and to others in a loving relationship.
Strengthening Local Churches: The local church is your contact with the Church of the Nazarene. We offer a number of resources to help these congregations and pastors be effective in their mission.
Developing Leadership: Through continuing education, pre-ordination assessments, workshops and the Pittsburgh District Training Center, we train our pastors and laypeople to be spiritual leaders, community influencers and competent administrators.
