    We were visitors to this church last Sunday. It was very very welcoming to our family and children from the moment we pulled into the parking lot, through the service and at the small meet & greet afterwards. Everyone was kind and the pastor came out of his way to welcome us and introduce us to other families with children the same age. The sermon was on point and easy to follow, and very relevant on a personal level. We highly recommend this place of worship to any young families looking for a spiritual home with young families and a welcome hospitality. —The Simpson-Hunt Family Mt. Lebanon, Pennsylvania

    This was a lovely flea market. I have not been to one in quite a while. My dear friend Caro just loved Fleas, swaps & estate sales. Kind of felt like she was still with me today as I did find a few treasures I know she would have approved. Happy Easter! 🐣🐰✝️ Thank you. 🙏🦩☘️ …

    I have been a member of this church for 40+ years. Our Sunday service is uplifting and inspiring. It is a loving and welcoming church. To the person who felt we were not friendly, please come again and give us another chance..

    Really enjoy Pastor Synder’s sermons and the church (it’s Presbyterian) is very open-minded and inclusive on social issues.
