We believe God has called each
of us to be a part of the People of God. We're young and
old, single
or with families; we've come from many different backgrounds and actively
belong to different denominations. We share a similar vision of God's
call in our lives ...TO BE HIS
PEOPLE ... and have committed our lives
to the Lord Jesus Christ and to one another through a relationship of
covenant love
Geographically, the People of God
is located in the center of Pittsburgh, PA with various
expressions
of our life and outreach in different parts of town. While our lives
together do include various expressions, the single-family lifestyle
is the most common way of life. However, the desire
for living in the
same neighborhoods seems to characterize much of the Lord's direction
for many of
our members
The People of God General Community
Gatherings are open to all. We welcome all who would
come to join us
in our prayer and worship of the Lord. Click here

The People of God join together
for worship and teach at district prayer meetings and
community gatherings.
Initally, we attend "A New Way of Living" course which serves as our
introduction to the Christian life. We are further fed on God's Word
and Wisdom by completing
seven "Foundations for Christian Living" courses
which include: Basic Spirituality, Family Life, Single Life, Christian
Personal Relationships, Healthy Christian Emotional Life, Men's and
Women's Roles
and Our Life and Roles within the People of God. We are
divided into smaller men's and women's groups which gather weekly for
pastoral care, to share our lives more deeply to serve and pray for
one another.
The People of God has two major
directions in our Outreach -- Evangelization and Service.
Through evangelization
we seek to bring the Good News of the Gospel, and the witness of our
life as brothers and sisters, to people in the Pittsburgh Metropolitan
Area. This is accomplished through our Prayer Meetings, University Christian
Outreach and Social Outings. We also sponsor Christian Concerts, Conferences
and Rallies
Through service we seek to further
the goals of the local, regional and national Charismatic
Renewal. This
is accomplished by providing leadership, service teams, speakers and
participants
in a wide scope of activities
The People of God is a member community
of The Sword
of the Spirit, an international
association of ecumenical covenant communities
