Reconciling Ministries
After decades of working towards justice for LGBTQIA+ people, First United Methodist Church of Pittsburgh officially became a Reconciling Ministries congregation in 2011. Reconciling Ministries is committed to intersectional justice across and beyond the United Methodist connection, working for the full participation of all LGBTQ+ people throughout the life and leadership of the Church. In 2021, we celebrated our 10-year anniversary as a reconciling ministries congregation. Here is our story.

A Brief History
The story of First United Methodist Church of Pittsburgh began with the formation of a Methodist Society in 1796. The first church building was erected in downtown Pittsburgh in 1810, and it was not until 1893 that the cornerstone was laid for the current building at Center Ave. and S. Aiken Ave.
