We are so much more than a beautiful, historic building. Our location allows us to minister to our poor, homeless and vulnerable neighbors, many of whom live on the streets and are in need of food and other assistance. Each Monday through Thursday, our church doors are open to those who need a shelter from the weather or a place for quiet reflection and prayer. Because of our strategic location, we also welcome thousands of visitors into our building each year.

We provide space at no or little cost to non-profit organizations in Pittsburgh. We seek to expand our ministry to Pittsburghers in innovative, creative ways. Following are some of the ways in which we reach out to our community.

1) Downtown Ministerium Walk-In Ministry - - FPCP serves one week in four as a place of hospitality and material help for 200+ clients who experience the hardships of homelessness and food insecurity. Hot meals are provided as well as access to a food pantry stocked with items we purchase at a discount from the Greater Pittsburgh Community Food Bank. Annually, we serve more than 2,000 individuals and families through our Food Pantry. Each year, we distribute more than six tons of food/toiletries.
