Our Story

Emmanuel Christian Church is a congregation of believers who come from all over Pittsburgh. Many of us are avid Pittsburgh sports fans, foodies, artists and more from all kinds of different backgrounds.

 

It was Christ’s vision for His church to be one. With that guidance in mind, two very old and well-established congregations – the Emmanuel Baptist Church and the Shadeland Avenue Christian Church – came together to celebrate what they had in common. They both had a steadfast goal of a congregation rooted in strong Biblical teaching, an unwavering love for Jesus, and a desire to be good stewards of the gifts that God had given them.

 

We strive to provide an environment that allows for the spiritual healing and growth for families of the area. We offer a place where the creative gifts of God has given His people for the purpose of the edification of His church is both encouraged and expected. And, through all of this, we keep a keen eye on Biblical truths, not settling for a “watered down” message that conforms to modern society.
