Mission
We believe that the Church should be a living thing, a seven day a week community of people trying to care for each other, care for the neighborhood, care for the world, and trying to live out the radical and inclusive love of God in every aspect of our lives.
Blessing Box
Beloved Community serves a diverse neighborhood with a wide range of resources and needs. The Blessings Box is a way for our community to share with those who need some extra help. There are currently barriers to government and non-governmental household assistance programs.
The Blessing Box is a low barrier option for those experiencing need to acquire shelf-stable food supplies as well as personal hygiene products which are not covered by SNAP.
If you would like to help us keep the box filled, please consider donating from our wish list. Be sure to click on Community House as the delivery address. You can also stop by any time and add to the box. Thank you!

Free Market
Many in our neighborhood and city experience economic hardships with a lack of access to basic resources. The Free Store is open quarterly for our Community Free Market and in special circumstances by appointment with a selection of gently used articles of clothing, shoes, bedding, children’s clothing, housewares, small furniture, new diapers, and new formula which are all free to those who might need them.

Homeless Community
For decades our congregation has served the homeless community here In Pittsburgh through quarterly meals with Northside Common Ministry, our annual Christmas Joy Bags, and other ministry opportunities.
Queer Community
Our congregation is one of the longest queer affirming congregations in the Pittsburgh area. We offer spaces for our LGBTQIA+ siblings to explore their faith through our youth ministry, renaming ceremonies for trans people, a Pride Sunday service and participating in Pittsburgh and Ross Pride Festivals every year, and much more.
Peacemaking
Peace is one of our guiding ethics at Beloved Community. We participate in the Season of Peace every year in September. During the Season of Peace, we host our annual Peace Festival on the Saturday before the International Day of Peace. We continually look for ways in which we can engage in peacemaking.
