Welcome to the home page of the First Baptist Church of Pittsburgh. We invite you to visit with us and to join us.

MISSION

We worship God as revealed in Jesus Christ, and through the power of the Holy Spirit seek to be witnesses to God's redemptive love for the world.

OUR COMMISSION: Through our worship, education and outreach we seek to fulfill the call of Matthew 28:19-20 to make disciples of all peoples and teach them to be faithful in following Christ.	OUR POSITION: As a "house of prayer for all peoples" (Isaiah 56:7) we carry out our ministry in Oakland to people of diverse racial, cultural, and language backgrounds.
OUR AMBITION: As messengers of reconciliation (2 Corinthians 5:18-21) we trust that if we help remove barriers God can work the miracle of new life. We promote an atmosphere where differing ideas can be viewed and expressed freely.	OUR AFFILIATION is with the American Baptist Churches, USA.

First formed in 1812 in downtown Pittsburgh, the congregation moved into this church building in 1912. As a "house of prayer for all people" we are racially and culturally diverse and welcome all seeking to understand their faith or inquiring about Christianity.

The First Baptist Church of Pittsburgh is located at the northeast corner of the University of Pittsburgh campus in the Oakland section of Pittsburgh, just a few blocks from Carnegie Mellon University and close to both Carlow and Chatham Colleges. For maps and directions see the maps.
